they'll fit, but tyres on the 18's are wrong spec, should be 255/60x18 rated at 112 for the D3. Wheelnuts are the same RRS and D3.

Wheels will be fine as far as I know, tyres should be 255/60 R18s. Also what is the weight rating on the tyres, they need to be 111H or 111V. If lower (107 or the likes) they will be underrated for weight and not suitable or legal.
PS Ooops, sorry AC, didn't read to the end. As the above post!

Now worries, always best to ask. Quite a few members have made expensive mistakes thinking they were getting a bargain but were no good for the D3.

Just seen the most hideous D3 on my drive had 22" split rims and the tyres were load rated at 102

Bit like the Kahn Blingmobile Sport that drives around Grantown, It's for sale if anyone's interested.

Looks like that RRS has been involved in a cut and shut operation and they forgot to fit the middle back in D. It looks kind of squashed a bit.............................
It also looks like it has the Kahn Baked Bean Can exhaust fitted tooNow a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

In the flesh it is OK, just a very crappy Auto Trader pic. Is mega blinged up, haven't looked at the exhaust, I'm sure they lock you up here for peering up exhaust pipes!

I meant from a cut & shut point of view. In the flesh it is gross, the owner drives past my house a few times a day and you think he's either off to get some more drugs or off for a gangsta wrappa sesh.
