I recall that someone fitted 2.7 D3 brakes to his early L322 to fit 17" but that IIRC the knuckles were changed to the MY10-12 versions to accept the larger D3/D4 bolts which means that the D3 4.4 brackets also fit MY10-12 therefore those brakes would fit mine. Whilst I found 2.7 brakes more than acceptable on my 3.0 D4, I don't think that I could come at fitting the 4.4's brakes to mine although it is a tempting thought especially as I have the calipers on hand. Anyway I have 2 spare sets of 6-pot pads bought cheaply recently to use.
So the 3.6 and 4.2SC have slightly bigger callipers than jag 4.4 L322/319? Is that the compromise?Quote:

Apologies for boosting an old thread... But has anyone solved the conundrum of getting 18" rims onto the 4.4lt TDV8?
Only by fitting the NA 5.0 calipers which a NSW engineering inspector some years ago advised would be acceptable in NSW as a user-fitted change because the NA 5.0 produces more power and accelerates faster than the 4.4 according to LR specs.
I'm very happy with my 31" 255/60R19 GG AT3 on D4 rims with the same sidewall height as 255/60R18 yet retaining the 6-pot brakes. These tyres have LI 113 so should stand-up to abuse from rocks better than 255/55R19 with their LI 110/111 and shorter sidewalls and I like their tread openness for muddy conditions, being not too open but not too closed either. I prefer these to 275/55R20 because they are smaller in diameter and not so wide. The Pirelli AT+ 275/55R20 were a nicer tyre which I would fit if available in 255/60R19 even though their pattern is a little more closed than I would prefer.
Serious rotors/brakes are required to pull up 3T after 700 odd Nm gets it mobile... Dont compromise... [wink11]Quote:

I don't know if that also works for the 4.4, might be worth checking out.
Sounds like the same as what I was told about fitting the NA 5.0 brakes to a 4.4, noting that brakes from a previous model aren't acceptable as they have to be from another version of the same year model. Even the 4-pot Brembos fitted to MY07-09 TDV8 aren't allowed because they were never fitted to a MY11-12, NSW regs anyway.
