Hi, I am new to the forum so not sure what to do yet, I have a RRS 2007 with Brembos on the front i bought some wheels from e-bay but they will touch the brakes if fitted i bought some spacers but they would not fit over the hub i returned to the company as we thought they had sent the wrong size they sent a new set but still did not fit the company said they had never had problems with them before, As anyone any ideas whey they would not fit, Thanks Steve

What size of wheel are you using, certain wheels will not fit

Both sets of wheels are 19" the new ones will fit on the hub but will touch the brembos thats why i thought the wheel spacers would solve the problem, Thanks

What width though, I think it is 9x19's that fit - 8's do not

I may be wrong though

DO you have a picture of the wheels, to help us identify them?

Most (if not all) FFRR wheels from 02-05MY will not fit D3/RRS...


I have 8x19 wheels (Standard D3 HSE) which clear my Brembo's just fine

The wheels say 9R / 19 and are genuine land rover if that helps..

Not really

Hi i might not be explaining myself very well..The wheels will fit over the brakes its the spokes that would be touching, Thats why i got the wheel spacers to bring the wheel out its the wheel spacers that wont fit, Thanks

There is not much clearance as standard between them, have you actually tried the wheels......iirc it's a matter of mm

I did and your right it was a matter of mm,s i just thought they would touch if i went over a bump our something, Lol I take it that they will be ok then,

Once the wheels are bolted up tight onto the hubs, if they do not foul the caliper then, they will be fine

If they do rub when tight, then you need spacers.

I know my D3 wheels are bloody close to the calipers

Hi this is were my problem first started i bought the spacers 25mm to be sure but the spacers wont fit the wheel hub the bolts line up but the hole in the center is not big enough, The company who i bought them from say they have sold loads for a RRS 07 and have never had any problems..

I fitted some 20"wheels off a RRsport to my HST and they were EXTREMELY close to the calipers Put it this way, if i had given the calipers another coat of paint they would have touched
Decided to refit the originals

OP -

Some where on the back of the wheel you should find the LR part number which will also state the OFF SET which I think for the RRS is 53.

Did the wheels come from a Sport/ - I see from your photo that you have a 275/45 tyre I thought (but might be wrong) the LR recommended 20" Sport tyres were all 40 section.
