Don't the 18" LR3 wheels fit all LR3 models? I thought the V6 model had brakes that could fit 17" wheels, but the V8 LR3 could still fit 18"?
At least I know that's the way it is in the U.S.

That does look great, and it makes me miss my Tonga LR3. What a great color. On my LR4 with 265 60s I think I'm at 42/48 psi. Ride is a little firm but I'm used to it.
I went the poor man's route to 18" wheels but am happy with the result

Mt 2006 lr3 hse was Tonga as well. My fav colors are white, green, black. My 1996 disco is white, my 2004 d2 is Vienna Green which is a light metallic sage with the gorgeous Aspen greens interior, and this lr3 is Java black, which is my fav black due to warm undertone.
IMO you had a typo that I fixed here: " 'smart' man's route"

Thanks, appreciate it
I think my favorite must be green due to past history. I wish I could remember all the fancy names for the colors, but lemme try. My 91 Classic was 'hunter' green...maybe? That was my fave. A champagne gold '95 RRLWB, 1 baltic blue P38 and one something or other green P38 (it wasn't as lame as forest green was it?), and 2 grey and a green LR3 and 4 - I don't know what either one of the grays is called. Hell, can't remember my current one, any help?
I like the white, but it HAS to have black trim like the discos or it's just too blank looking for me.

Ok, Finally got my Compomotives in and installed Ridge Grappler 285/60/18s. I'm totally digging them at least from driving the short ride home. They are quieter and smoother than the Coopers I had
but of course those were worn. No rub on the horns. It's definitely tighter than the Coopers and the picture almost looks like it's touching, but if it is, I can't feel it or hear it. I had trouble getting a camera up there but hopefully you can see the difference. It's a hair. The spare had to be completely aired down and the heat shield removed. Even then it took a bit of work to shimmy it up in the space. Still have to decide on a Compressor for that and get center caps too. Can't wait to take it off the pavement.

While I'm at it, does anyone have a link to the center caps that fit the Copomotives? I don't remember seeing one?
Never mind, found the thread.

I am pretty sure I bough 4 like these, they snapped very securely on the Compos: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Land-Rover...386834?hash=item281b84e812:g:ZCoAAOSw-KFXdu-C - 4+ years later I still have them and they look as good as new.
The ones that came with my car (with black rims) were very loose on the Compos but a perfect fit for the OEM wheels, hwever others said they had no problems fitting theirs on either wheel.

Thanks for the link Umberto. In the interest of keeping this up to date, I can confirm they do pop right in as expected.
