Now, I've been told the 16s won't fit the HSE model because the brake calipers are too big. I've also been told that OE 16"s from 99 on fit both D2s and RR 4.0/4.6. Who's mistaken?   Jim Reynolds (4x4xfar) Member Username: 4x4xfar Post Number: 123 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 12:59 pm:    Rupert I have an 03 SE and replaced the 18's with 16's and can't imagin there is any difference in the HSE's brakes. The OE 16's will fit D2's and RR 4.0/4.6 .   Bill Collett (Bcollett) New Member Username: Bcollett Post Number: 27 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 02:26 pm:    I just put 16's on my 03 with ACE. They fit fine. Brake wise, I don't know of any difference between the SE and HSE models. If your not sure, put a 16" wheel on and check to see that your calipers clear.   Al Oliveira (Offroaddisco) Senior Member Username: Offroaddisco Post Number: 1555 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 02:56 pm:    AFAIK, brakes on all '99-'03 D2's are the same. Regardless of trim package. P38 (4.0/4.6) Range Rover wheels are interchangeable with the D2's.   Ron Brown (Ron) Senior Member Username: Ron Post Number: 522 Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 07:39 pm:    Any wheel from a 1995-2001 4.0SE, 4.6SE or 4.0 will fit your truck as well as an 16in disco II wheel. The mirage style seem to be the cheapest used ~50 a pop.

And lots of people have run taller side walls than that with ACE. I've been doing it for over 3 years now with no problems.   Ross Thoma (Rossthoma) Member Username: Rossthoma Post Number: 208 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2003 - 10:52 am:    Al, I stand corrected. I was regurgitating what the yoko at the dealership spouted to me.

I cannot comment on the wheel sizes though.   Alyssa Brown (Alyssa) Senior Member Username: Alyssa Post Number: 273 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 07:25 am:    There isn't any difference in the brakes on an HSE. You can swap them just fine.
