No they don't fit! If you really want 18's you need compomotive ones which won't be cheap! D3 x2 now gone

Darn! Annoying. But think I'll powder coat them anyway and then just sell them and make someone else happy.
The issue woth PD1881 is that there is noone in Sweden selling them. I knew I should have planned a family holiday with the D4 in the UK instead of Italy...

in the US lots of D4 owners use D3 18's with spacers. Google LR4 with LR3 18 wheels.

I have done that. But I can't find any clear answers, tbh. Some says it works and others it doesn't. And there seems to be a difference between early and late D4 as well.
I think the easiest way is to just order spacers and do a test.

Also check overland website in the USA. 18' Compomotive are the right answer, but they are super expensive. Having V8 D3 Calipers would probably help, wondering if on a D4 diesel they would be fine.

Cheers. Will read up a bit more on it.
On the other hand I am considering spacers in any case so I might just get them and check if they fit (haven't found that there would be an issue to use spacers on a D4).

OK, it's decided. I'll order spacers and let you know if it worked.

keep an eye out on auction sites for comp motives, however - i picked up 4, with tyres, for £400 a while back. Lovely they are too

I'm sure Big Dave could transport them for you. MY2022 D5 HSE D300 - with extra nice bits added
MY2019 D5 HSE 3.0 SDV6 - sold to a dealer for a crazy price! - So good I bought another!
MY2012 D4 HSE 3.0 SDV6 - retired to a new home
How did you do with your 18" D3 wheels on the D4 with spacers.
Where did you buy your spacers, and how thick are they please?
