Disco 4 - 18" wheels?
I'm looking at getting a second set of wheels for winter tyres - I live in the far NW of Scotland. I've recently bought a 65 plate D4 - after my D2 was written off in an accident.
I'd hoped that my spare Disco 2 wheels / tyres would fit - but whilst the PCD is the sme, the bore is smaller on the D2, so no go.
I've seen a set of 18" wheels that the seller claims will fit a D4, but I'm uncertain - can anyone help?!

Those deffo won’t fit on a D4.
Well, to get techie, they won’t fit on your D4. They will fit on very early D4’s with the 2.7 engine, but not 3.0 engined cars.
PS U need 19” and above.

There are a few companies doing 18" for the D4 now - compomotive alloys, tuffant steels and speedline have just released a suitable alloy too. But you'll pay for them, over £1000 a set I believe for all of them.
A cheap set of D3 HSE 19" alloys can be had for £150.2014 D4 XS

Thanks DSL & J@ames
I was curious as to whether 18" wheels fitted generally - the Disco owners handbook gives a spec for 18" winter tyres, but (I think) I'd picked up comments that the D4 brakes were larger and wouldn't allow clearance with most 18" wheels.
I'll look to pick up a set of secondhand 19" wheels - but being in a remote area, always worth checking out locally available items!Disco 4 65 Landmark

And I saw you were after another set of ATRs in a FS thread. You can never have too much of a good thing.

I've just been speaking to someone who had a set of original LR 18" fitted to an early D4. Are the later D4s different? Or do some LR 18" wheels fit?

Early D4's had the 2.7L engine and smaller brakes from the D3.

Was speaking to a customer yesterday and he confirmed that an 18" rim was a factory option on early D4 commercials.

Or any 3.0 D4 unless someone has changed the factory fitted front brakes.
As above, there are aftermarket 18” rims that will fit. 👍2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
