Fitting 17" wheels to D3 V8
hi guys,
Wondering 17" wheels can fit into D3 V8? Can the wheels accomodate the bigger brake disc?
Thanks

And even then be careful , I got a second set of 18 " rims , and although they cleared the callipers on the circumference of the wheel , the calliper was too wide which resulted in us having to do this

(before anybody does their nut , we only took about 3mm off and the overall width of the calliper is about 80 mm )

Heine - Why did you do this - 18's are fitted as standard by LR to V8s, so there shouldnt be any need for "modifications".

I can only assume the second set of rims where from something other than a D3 V8 ?

It's kind of odd. I have 19" GoodYear MTR and a set of 18" Wrangler road tyres... we are suppose to have thicker side walls for offroad use. LR lives!
