Those the compomotives? 8)I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I have them shod in 18" Pirelli 255/60 112H ATR's ... Only done a few miles but drives very comftable, and I love the way you can bash up kerbs!
Tech question .... As the ET is 44 on these & original wheel is 53mm does this mean the Coso's have an 18 mm wilder track ?Peter

Didn't think they fit due to brakes but looks good and guess it opens up a lot more tyre options
Only the Compomotive do

As it happens, the later style 2 SE 18" alloys also fit, and 'just' catch the paint against the caliper but they do rotate, so with spacers I reckon they may work.Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

Just put the Compomotive alloys on mine last night.
I'd thought you had to put the "new" P1881 rims on, but you don't….
These are the 18" P1880 that I got from a place in Manchester via the popular auction site for £600 for all 4, whereas Compomotive wanted double that for the P1881's.
Not sure you can get the P1880's in anything other than silver mind you…..

Installed Yesterday.
285/65 R18 125 R BFG All terrain.
The 18"x8,5 wheel has a particular channel that did not require any modification on the brakes (no grinding or replacement).
The clearence is 3mm, as minimum required for road use. Load ratio: 1000 Kg/rim.
For this size of tyres is required to modify all the lower area of the wheel archs, some plastic and steel cutting/bending, not extreme but take time.marcap599
