18 inch steel rims on 19/20 inch rims?
Just looked at one of the latest Powerful UK youtubes and it appears you cannot put 18 inch steels on the 19/20 inch wheels that come as standard on the D250/300 and P400 as they rub the calipers fitted.

Video is here with useful information on disk size.



I though it was only the 22 inch wheels that had a larger brake caliper?

The steels fit on the D250 but not the D300 or P400.

They won’t fit a D250 if it was specified with the 22” rims from the factory as they come with the bigger brakes. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

If you change the caliper carrier for the early D5 one, you can fit 18’s to a D300. It still uses the same rotors and pads.

You can' fit 18inch rims on 20inch rims? Why would you want to fit an 18 inch rim on a 20inch rim? I suppose you mean fitting am 18 inch rim on a car that has 20inch rims fitted from factory

And there is now the 20” Steelies look-a-like alloys option from the County pack option that will fit D300 and P400

If those are 19 inch rims, what are the tyres? They look really good, but I can only find a very limited number of 19 inch tyres that fit.
