Yes, they fit fine, no rubbing, although I do think it depends on wheel offset. I bought them from, my tyres., but they came from Germany.. price fluctuates a bit, I paid £200 per corner. Much better ride, than my previous 275/45/20. The car is normal height, in the photo

Thanks Steve,
They look well lets hope they perform the same as obviously new tyre. Did yours have outlined white writing on one side of the tyre? Pirelli said that the 275’s had it on one side?
IIRC according to some forum members D4’s can fit slightly bigger tyres than a D3 without mods but I may of imagined it as it was a while back.

D & G / Steve,
Hows the tires going? Have they been okay in the rain?
Thinking on getting a set of these but cannot find a supplier less than £224.00 each as of yet so was hoping that January may bring a deal or two.

I have only driven from the tyre fitters home, car on bump stops with other problems at the moment. See DSC thread.
I have had more go wrong on this D3 in just over a year than in 10 years of owning a shogun.
So far this holiday have found the electrical short on one of the master vans and fixed that, unseized a hand brake leaver on the caliper. It is due a MOT at the end of Jan.
Found the dry joint on the Iveco that makes the lights go out when driving, still have to solder that.
Picking up the other van on Monday which has the ABS and service light on and an oil leak. Need to do these for an MOT next week.
Got to take the Master tipper down to the mechanic (to see why it has lost drive, clutch hopefully), who is on holiday at the moment, which is why I am working on them all. Except the D3 which he is not keen on touching.
Renault and LR probably the two most unreliable manufacturers to have.
