Still bit of debate as to whether D4 (I assume D4??) wheels will fit a D3. They look very 8)

Yes, they are actually on a late 2009 D3. The D4 catalogue shows 2.7GS with the old XS alloys, the 3.0GS with the old HSE alloys, new splits for the 3.0XS and finally the 3.0HSE ones that I've got. Doesn't seem to be a problem with anything. The trick was obtaining the alloys at a reasonable cost.
What problems did people think there would be or maybe I am just being thick. Just considered everything mechanical/wheel wise was the same. I know there was an issue with load rating, 109Y was considered inadequate, however the sidewalls show the actual load bearing to be 1030kgs, which compared to a 111, is only a matter of 30-40kgs.

Been looking at some stormers and v spokes with 275/45/20 the load on both is 110 though slightly under, is this a no go? Anyone else using this size / load. Thanks

it is slightly under, as LR "recommend" 111 as a minimum, but seemed to have dropped this from the tyre spec label thats on your drivers side door (it was on my 06 model, its not on my 09 model). A few are/have run 275/45x20's, which is OK size wise.

yes, i have been very happy with the 20" Overfinch lookalikes. they cost me $2000 aud WITH 295/45x20 tyres. though my missus just kerbed one of them slightly the other day. for some unexplicable reason i am not allowed to complain about this incompetence. how hard is it to avoid a kerb FFS!!!!! i have had a century of complaining about errors of judgement under the belt!
oh well, i just love the D3 and looking forward to what i will do mid next year when i have to decide what i will do with my D3 V8! a D4 with 5.0 would be the biz but not sure if bank agrees with that strategy.'05 D3 HSE V8, Zambezi

Anyone know if anyone has these on a D3 yet, really like them but think I prefer the previous Black/Diamond cut Stormers.......arghh.....
They're only a 50 offset though so wondering if with the 275 LTZ's on they give me an issue on an 08 HSE?Errr, ummm, maybe...oh bo**ocks, just do it !

Plenty being veded by different people on ebay as the 'new 2010 Stormer', however I prefer the orginal (ie. style you have) so doesn't matter Errr, ummm, maybe...oh bo**ocks, just do it !

Don't shoot me for asking, what does FFRR mean? I figured out what RRS means, but FFRR? I am looking at the seven spokes tomorrow, but what I really want are the Twin Spokes (both are 19"), any advice?
I know it is a personal decision but what does the majority think looks nicest? The seven spoke from a 2008 RR HSE or the Twin Spokes from the RRS?

Seriously, I would have never guessed it. Is this as opposed to the Sport model?
