Fellow tire-crazy LR4 enthusiasts...
FYI - Please see below information and pictures from Barry at Components Automotives 73 Limited (3 May 2011). If you get the Johnson lift kit mentioned previously, then you will not need to do the plastic cutting work Barry alludes to in his various recommended tires. This is just some info I am passing onto the group from Barry so take it for what it is worth-additional information for helping with some market research.
I am happy to confirm that we are able to offer our 8x18 PD rim to suit the LR4.
We have just completed the process of confirming all the fitments for this new wheel on the many varied Land Rover brake options / vehicles.
We have supplied for all model of Land Rover with this wheel via our Australian importer =

So as long as your car does not have the Brembo branded logo on the caliper all will be fine.
If you have the Brembo branded brake caliper then the steel blocks that are bolted on would need to be removed or relocated to allow the fitment of an 18” rim
The rim is made to take your original Land Rover alloy wheel lug nut and Land Rover centre caps. So should be a case of just fitting your new tyres and driving away from the garage.
The stock colour we have is Anthracite Grey – but can also offer silver and satin black options.
The rim price is £175 gbp each – plus transport. The cost of the transport to a US mainland address is £220 gbp. So making a total of £1095 gbp for 5 rims.
Excluding any local taxes or duties that may apply in your country.
