Don't know on that to be honest

The LK8 LR4 is on EAS. Retained full travel and steering as well. Complete beast off road from what I saw at Red Clay as well.
On the truck in question, I recall that they had gone to the extent of cutting the inside portion of the wheel flares so that the wheels would tuck in on compression.
What does it mean to “break out the angle grinder?”Haha. I was there for that post.
That thread was the Bible for LR4 mods at the time.
He was correct. I'm on 33.3 KO2s now going incrementally from 19" Zeons, to 265/65/18, to 265/75/18 to 275/70/18.
As I mentioned earlier, I broke out the angle grinder for the most recent set. The rubbing was actually pretty minimal on my sliders, but I want the clearance to run snow chains if needed.
There is another good thread on Expo of a guy doing part of the Rubicon in his LR3.
Anybody want to meet in Truckee next summer?

what are you doing. Pics? Video?
An angle grinder is used to take off some of the brake caliper material where it would contact the inside barrel of the rim. It has been used for fitting factory 18" wheels on lr4's or in my case factory 17" wheels even with 25mm spacers. The rear is the one that required more grinding.
Then I changed the rotors to the size used on the LR3 that came with 17" wheels so they'd fit just fine.
So is this something i shoukd best leave to a pro, or is it easily doable by a first-timer like me?An angle grinder is used to take off some of the brake caliper material where it would contact the inside barrel of the rim.

Want to drop my stock 19"s and go to 18"s. I was told I have the option of buying expensive 18"s that got perfectly ok my LR4,or it so ing spacers to fit wheels from a different vehicle.
Apparently some people swear against them. Others have told me this is what they did and they had no problem.
What's your opinion and why?
If you say yes, then what is a brand of spacers and wheels that had gotten great results on LR4s?
