Just received an email from my local Perth dealership regarding tyres.

I will see what I can find out from our tyre guys as well.

Has anyone had experience with either of these two tyres/manufacturers?

Folks,
I wonder if anyone has yet worked out whether the GOE 18 inch rims will work with the 2014 RRS TDV6, with the smaller 'standard' brakes package.
For the RRS the standard 19 inch rims wear 235/65R19 Pirellis. They are the only tires in the whole wide world of that size, which is a bummer really as the sidewall height is a little better than the 255/55 that the D4 has as standard.
Tire selection here is a little problematic.
Cheers, Simmo
Simmo,
The GOE wheels are OK for the RRS TDV6. The RRS is covered on the D4 part of the forum so you won't get too many answers here!
Rightio,
I was just wanting to confirm that the GOE rims fitted the current model RRS TDV6. I know that they fit the prior model, which is what Gordon from GOE runs himself. The current model is not based on the D4 platform anymore.
Cheers, Simmo
Summary of Brake sizes for LR products: (so RRS base and RRV base are OK!!)
Front Rear
D4 360mm 350mm
RRS TDV6 350 350
RRS SDV6 380 365
RRS SDV8 380 365
Vogue 3.0 Diesel 350 350
Vogue TDV8 380 365

Not sure which part of the forum the latest RRS fits now, come to think of it, so good point!! Lucky you, owning one.
The best thing is to PM Gordon or email GOE, to find out straight from the expert.
I PM'ed Gordon and he told me that he can't get hold of a TDV6 Sport so he can't confirm that the wheels fit. Hence, what I posted earlier may be wrong, although likely to be correct, based on the brake sizes as posted by others.
Yeah I have a mate with the GOE rims, however when ever we are in the same place at the same time we are usually legless, so not that wise to try and muck around changing wheels and trying them. Just havent had the opportunity yet. One day.
Cheers and thanks, Simmo

I have learnt that the current shape RRS SDV8 uses 380mm front discs and 6 pot calipers- like the last of the L322 TDV8's - so GOE's 18inch rims wont fit.
BUT the 2016 SDV8 L405 has 350mm front and rear discs as does the SDV6 L405. I dont know what calipers are used though. The 18's fit the D4 with 360mm front discs.
Soooooo, I'm wondering, just maybe the 18's do fit the SDV8 (and SDV6) - making one of these fitted with nice quality offroad tyres with lots of sidewall, and an e-diff (not available on the SDV6) my new dream off road machine :)
Now, how do I get a D4 owner with 18's and a L405 SDV8 owner in the same spot at the same time...hmmmm.
What size 18" would you fit, being mindful that the L405 has 31" OD tyres? 275/55R20 are just under 32" and have as much sidewall as 265/60R18 which seems to be the most popular D4 size on 18" rims.
