Good luck Stevo, we're all behind you on this one, keep us posted

Stevo,

They cost around $300 -$310 each for 17". Damn cheaper than a LR rim, that's for sure and when you scratch them up you won't care so much.

Wow, that is a hell of a difference compared to Lr at around $1600 a rim . For what I was budgeting and if the 18's arent much different I will easily get them shod with rims and tyres for less than what I thought. For those knowledgeable or you may know Chris, how can there be such a variance in price?

Stevo ( getting excited at prospect of new rims and tyres )

LR price these parts with the view that it will be an insurance claim.

It's cr@p but that what I was told when I asked to buy the LR 17" rims for my D3.

I told them I wanted a set of 5. I couldn't even get then for $500ea x 5.

Ok, prices for rims are around $450 a rim, but they also have a second hand pair of RR Vogue rims in 18's that he says would fit and suit the D3. On the placard it has tyres for the 18's at 235/65/r18's and 255/65/r18s, anyone know of suitable tyres for that ( will be doing some research myself of course), and as I have 255/55/r19s, would a 255/55/r18 suit??

Stevo,

I read somewhere that someone was going to fit RR 18" wheels but they would not fit. My understanding is that no other LR rim fits the D3 except the RRS wheels otherwise people would have bought the RR wheels especailly the US LR3 owners.

Who says they will fit, the tyre dealer or the LR dealer?

You can always prove it by asking them to fit a wheel rim to check clearance.

Thanks mate, having done a bit of a search today am finding not much even for 18's. What confuses me is that on the plaque in the car on tyres in the car has 19's, 18's and 17's and applicable tyre size. However Ive heard that 17's wont go on the V8??

Stevo, Coopers do a 275/65 18 113Q in the STT at about $445 per tyre. Can't find much else in an 18" in an aggressive tread to suit the Disco 3. If you find any other options please let me know.
