17" no. The brake calipers are too big.
I only found out about *Try posting a bit more so your post isn't boring* rims having the same stud pattern (but less positive offset) yesterday. I'm don't know if the 18" ones might fit (doubt it though - I'm sure others have checked before having the custom ones developed especially
)

Ah ok thought that could be the case, no worries :rolleyes:
Ok. First real trip with it, and WOW. What a difference to the Pathfinder. It was completely effortless to tow with and stacks of power waiting in reserve. The Pathy used to always hunt for the right cruising gear and revs would always be swinging from 2500 to 3500. This just sat on 1900 in the peak torque range and didn't budge unless I put my foot down. And a couple of times I did to pass a b double, I look down at the speedo after a couple of seconds and its sitting on 140km. The ride was smooth, and even the missus was comfortable to drive it at the speed limit. And the self leveling suspension worked as it should.
I fitted the second battery before the trip, with extra ciggy sockets and anderson to the rear. UHF also went in, but will get moved - I put the main unit with the speaker in the centre console, and was sometimes too hard to hear unless i opened it. Bull bar is on order, but is still weeks away. ARB will only make them when enough orders.

Good to hear straydingo, looks a nice rig too. One of my mates tows a 24' van with his but he chipped it and after market intercooler plus a slight boost increase.....heaps of grunt, I went for a drive with him a while ago and it felt like a V8 petrol.
awesome SD, great to have a bit under the foot when you need it (not want it, that was the old V8 days for me). congrats. cheers.
When I spotted you heading on the freeway heading off on your QLD trip the Disco sure stood out with the Expanda on the back :thumb:
Thats great news about the bar too, it will change the whole look of the car.

I had the front bar and snorkel fitted a few weeks back - thanks to Everything 4wd in Cranbourne (free plug)

Thats really changed the look of the Disco SD, looks good mate. Did the front drop at all?
Also...
What driving lights have you got on the front?

That looks great mate. I must admit since buying my D4 it's been a long time that I've really loved driving a 4by. Towing a 16-49-3 is very comfortable.
Have you noticed any wind noise from the snorkel at 110kph cruising down the highway? Also is there any difference in the handling of the car after fitting the bar? I'm looking at getting a snorkel and bar and would love any feedback.

CD - I didn't measure before and after. But I believe the suspension is self levelling anyways so might not show (?). Lights are XXX. I had them on the pathy after the Narvas kept working themselves loose all the time. The blue cuts the light distance of course, but they still have a reasonable output. (I counn't bring myself to spend the $3500 on the new led ones)
Mike - When I put the snorkle on the pathy, I heard every gurgle and gasp the car made, plus the air noise. This one, a slight gurgle just as I take off from idle and thats it. The bar added front end weight and made it a little heavier to steer (oversteer), but was used to that again pretty quickly.

That looks like a great unit, I've always been a fan of the discovery's, but I never found them too comfortable in the front for my legs (big hunk boof headed bloke).
Love the bar, looks great being colour coded too.
