V8 Discs with 18" Wheels
Hi Everyone
Could someone give me a definite answer on the wheel size needed for a V8 Disc upgrade?
I can find posts saying deff NO for 17 and YES for 19 but yes and no's for 18
Does it depend on the style?
Thanks

As above, YES, I ran my D3 with LR V8 discs and LR 18" rims with 255-60-18 tyres. For my use, it was the most practical and also comfortable option.
added bonus of it being almost impossible to" kerb" the alloys as well. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

Thanks for all the replies
My worry was I had found a couple of posts that said they don't fit 18's and wanted to make sure
Upgrade kit now ordered

As above, you'll be going from 317mm to 337 on the front, and if you're doing the rears at the same time
I think it's 325 to 350mm. You will need the larger carriers from the 4.4 petrol V8.
It's the RR TDV8 discs that wont fit unless you have 20" rims.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
