I'd start by figuring out if the sticking is in the form of the caliper not sliding on the pins or is the actual caliper piston sticking. Brake pad wear and rotor discoloration from heat should tell the story. Worst case, maybe it's a good excuse to swap to fixed brembos from an rrs:)
I don't know much about that model, don't think it made its way to the states. If you are able to post a picture of the brake caliper and the brake rotor diamater I may be able to provide some information as to whether the BMW wheels I used would fit.
I think that 20s would be easy as you'd...
Looks awesome! I'll keep an eye out for your rig at the slopes. Im an hour east of Breck/keystone/abay in Colorado. Hit me up if you end up out this way, I've got loads of space.
Really interesting. I'd suggest calling General directly, they may be able to supply in the US without having to ship to the UK and back. General is hugely active in off road (desert) racing and really supportive of the sport. I'd imagine their tires are solid for off road. If you happen to...
Dito to the above. IMO 265 is about as wide as you want to go on a LR4. It's plenty of footprint and still fits up into the wheelwells. FWIW cooper ST Maxx's in 265/60r18s on 40mm offset rims fit with no rubbing, but there's not a massive amount of extra room. I think you'd get rubbing at...
Welcome! Most 18" wheels do not fit. Compomotive is the only totally hassle free option. Some run oem Land Rover lr3 18" wheels with spacers and some trimming of the caliper fins. The trouble with this method is that it puts the wheels too far out and the tires don't tuck into the fenders...
No problem! There are many bmw wheels of the right hub and bolt spacing. With BMW wheels the trick is finding something likely to clear the calipers and with the right offset. If you find other options post up!
If it's under warranty let the dealer worry about it, if not get an iid tool and see what codes are set. No real point in speculation without more info.
The wheels feel really solid/heavy and seem a strong design. The spokes are quite thick as is the part that bolts to the hub. They are made for BMW by Ronal which is a very reputable wheel supplier. I had Discount Tire install new TPMS sensors so that I can swap the 19s back on if I need to...
No rubbing yet, I'll put in access mode and try full lock in both directions. I'm pretty sure it won't rub. Will try and measure clearance as well! In the back with the rear end about as squashed as I could get it (putting opposite front tire up on a knee high rock) I had a bit more than a...
The Cooper S/T Maxx had great reviews and looked just right for my application which is general getting around in the mountains along with some light wheeling. I wanted something extremely durable, street friendly and with reasonable off road capability. Also had to be load range E for...
