United Kingdom 2009 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Stornoway GreyDiscovery 3

Steve



I don't know if you can help, but I know there are a good few people on here would be interested.

I am trying fit these wheel to my '09 TDV6 D3 and as others have found the back face of the wheel foul the front brakes (caliper carrier I believe), but a 3mm spacer fixes the problem.

The wheels came off my TD6 L322 so obviously fit that ok and I would like to use without spacers.

I have read several times that these wheels will fit with V8 brakes and I am tempted to fit your upgrade kit for this reason, but I am not 100% confident of the outcome, especially as I understand the V8 brakes disks are bigger.

Do you have any idea if the V8 caliper carriers are just a different shape and that somehow solves the problem?

Appreciate any insight you have.

Cheers

Rob

Sorry Rob

I have no experience of this issue.

The V8 disc is bigger of course, it fills up your backplate nicely, the caliper carrier is much the same to look at but it increases the stand off from centre to allow for the bigger disc, I think you would still need the spacer if you do now.

Many thanks for the quick reply. I can now see that the where it would foul the wheel is in the area of the centre alloy circle, so the extra stand-off might push the caliper carrier out to the area of the spokes where there is more clearance, but it would have to move it probably 20-30mm further out to have any effect. How much bigger are the V8 disks?

I'm still not sure what I should be ordering. Front only? Front and rear? I reckon front and rear at the same time makes sense but which sets exactly? Forgive me, I'm in training for old age Confused

NEVER upgrade the rear brakes, without having done the fronts Thumbs Up

No rear kits currently available....

Just had to return all of my stock of rear caliper carriers to Land Rover, they are wrongly boxed and are looking into it - might take a while!!

Please keep us informed of the outcome as I to have these wheels fitted, and am hoping to follow you as I have temporally got around the problem via a different method. Thumbs Up
The rears are not a problem and will fit.

It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
