    D4 Spare wheel?

    My D4 has 19" wheels with 265 tyres.

    The spare is 18" with a higher profile tyre meaning the overall diameter is about an inch larger than the wheels/tyres on the car.

    Is this difference an issue if I need to use the spare?

    That much bigger yes.
    Either purchase a 18 with a similar ( within a couple of mm) or get a 19" rim and tyre.
    What pattern 19" rim do you have?
    I've got one for sale in the markets section and another pattern one is there also.

    Thanks mate,

    I am currently running Pirelli Scorpion Verde which are strictly road oriented and need replacing.

    Considering the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's.
    The D4 is my wife's daily driver and doesn't go off road at the moment but the ATR's will at least allow us to drive on gravel roads etc without the fear of damaging a low profile tyre at $700 a pop or even worse, a rim.
    My car is a Troopy with mud tyres for the serious stuff.

    I will see if I can keep the current spare wheel and fit a tyre to match the overall diameter.

    I have attached a pic of the wheels on the D4.

    Just like mine apart from a coat of paint!

    My spare is the same colour.

    If I can match the overall diameters I'll just keep the 18" rim as a spare.

    Just in case that doesn't work out, how much are you selling the wheel for?
    Never mind, I just followed your link to check for myself.

    According to my maths I shouldn't have an issue.
    I'll have to drop the spare, put it next to the others and have another look.

    255/60 R18 overall diameter should be 763.2mm (spare).
    255/55 R19 overall diameter should be 763.1mm.

    Yes that is fine, a 285/60 R18 would be a different story.

    And another is it a 2.7 or 3l?

    If it is a 3l,and an LR 18',it may not fit.

    If it is a 2.7,all good

    Had another look at pic of wheel and brakes,looks like a 2.7?

    Second hand car with a dodgy dealer.

    It is a 2.7.

    Now I'm curious, what is the difference between 2.7 and 3.0 regarding wheels?
