Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels
When mine were fitted, they placed the weights on the inside of the rims, specifically to avoid the calipers. This seems to be the best way of balancing these wheels to avoid caliper clearance issues. In fact as soon as Dean at AJS (who fitted them) saw the Compos as they were unboxed, he...- DiscoBiscuit

Well that makes sense and you can kind of see it in the last picture from the workshop. The back wheels are basically hanging down with the rear-end suspended and they are very obviously displaying significant positive camber kind of mimicking an extreme extended mode. Winchin up me spare by...- DiscoBiscuit

Hi MBW - good question and one I can't fully answer yet. I haven't noticed any pulling left or right, in fact with these tyres the vehicle drives straighter than it did with the stock 20's (if I took my hands off the wheel before it would slowly pull left). That said, with camber I can't tell...- DiscoBiscuit

The 265/60R18 which is what I now run will make your roof precisely a quarter inch higher than stock. I doubt if that will make a major difference to anything. The 265/65R18 will leave your roof three quarters of an inch higher than stock. I also used the GAP IID tool to add a cheeky one inch...- DiscoBiscuit

I lifted the anthracite image from a close-up "donor" photograph I found on another thread here http://www.landroverworld.org/threads/xd-monster-18in-wheels-for-lr4.25096/page-2 they do look pretty light there as you say. Compomotive have a new batch arriving next week. I've been hassling Barry...- DiscoBiscuit

Well they look pretty sweet on your white disco judging by the photos on the previous page. Maybe you should blacken your lugnuts though?- DiscoBiscuit

The uk dealer I spoke to last week said to just be aware that here at least, warranty claims could take into account non spec wheels. This is from the UK warranty terms "Any vehicle fitted with wheels and tyres that exceed Land Rover maximum approved size and diameter must be declared prior to...- DiscoBiscuit

Yup - the extra diameter would be nice but I don't need the potential warranty headaches just yet....maybe later as you say. I saw whose pictures of bullmrkts rig - i agree = they look very slick - the anthracire grey looks very dark in those photos, almost black. In some other photos they look...- DiscoBiscuit

After nearly 20 years of owning a beautiful Jeep Cherokee I've just switched over to a Disco 4 - quite a change in many ways! I got used to my head touching the ceiling of the Jeep - with the disco the ceiling seems a long way up there! I will say though - I was genuinely shocked although also...- DiscoBiscuit
