With a D4,as it has independent suspension all around,is heavy and powerful,if you get over 75K you are doing very well.
With something like a Hilux,or aD1/ D2,mileage of around 90K plus is achievable.

Depends on driving style,type of driving as well,road surfaces,tyre pressures,etc,there are a lot of variables.

Thanks mate. Understand I'm not going to get the mileage I did from my bigger km2s but am interested in what people are getting from their ko2s on 18s as I've read some very mixed reviews about the rubber being particularly soft.

Not the right thread or forum section for tyre feedback. Plenty of tyre threads covering the KO2 in the D3/D4 section.

Arrived. Fitted. 👍🏼

New wheels look great. New tyres D697s. No increase in road noise and noticeably more comfortable on road. Can't wait to get them muddy!

Has anyone had any issues with these fitting the D5 yet?

Hi Andrew, PM sent

Update on D5 Option

The D5 Option for these wheels is still in engineering. Without going into too much detail, we have a different offset for the D5, however, after late modifications to the rim material we are holding onto these until we are more comfortable with the outcome on the D5 and the rear brake, as well as legality in some states in Australia. Everyone that got these for the D5 should have been contacted, if you have not been contacted and have purchased for a D5 please send me a PM and we will get in touch and explain the complete situation over the phone.

I have requested the thread name be updated also to avoid any confusion from the moderators.

Again, if there are any questions on these please don't hesitate to get in touch.

cheers

3.6 TDV8 fitment check?

Has anyone fitted these to something running the same 4-pot Brembos as an L320 3.6 TDV8? Andrew's not 100% sure they'll fit on mine. I know the caliper weights will need to be ground/reversed/removed, but other than that...? Can anyone verify one way or another, please?

The whole “grind remove” thing is the reason these special alternative wheels exist for D3,D4.

Because grinding the brake calliper is illegal (and obvious).

If you’re willing to do that - almost any aftermarket wheel will likely fit!
