I was reading in some other forums that these 18" will work with the P400 Defenders with the larger brake calipers.
Has anyone in here tried them and know this to be true?

Nice find! No spacers, stock calipers, good colors, nice design. 10% off right now. Big if true.

 

I've e-mailed them to double check will report back when they get back to me

 

Nothing on their website that I can find references fitting the P400. But I have 5 of them in my cart and I'm waiting for a call back from their Defender expert as to whether they will fit a 400.

And the discount code (also not on the website that I could find) is EVO21. But don't ya'll all get in line ahead of me.

 

Nope. They fit P400s perfectly! As long as you've installed the Lucky 8 rear caliper kit. However, I was told that they are a Lucky 8 dealer and you can buy the calipers from them with these wheels instead of the Tuffant wheels. He claimed that Lucky 8 won't sell the caliper kit without the Tuffant wheels -- I didn't think that was the case, but I'm not sure.

 

Ugh.. that sucks.. back to the drawing board.

 

Look nice in white.

The state different lug nuts are needed. I wonder if the wheel studs also need swapping out. Would be good not to have to switch the calipers.

 

Lucky8 has the calipers on their site as a stand-alone purchase for $988.

 

That's what I thought I remembered -- budgeting a grand for the brakes and sourcing wheels separately.

 

Funny thing is, when I bought 16" wheels for dedicated offroad tires for my JK Wrangler they wouldn't fit over the front calipers by a tiny amount. No fancy caliper swap for me -- got out the pneumatic die grinder and took off the corner that was rubbing till it wasn't rubbing anymore. Hit it with some high-temp paint, done.

I suppose JLR would repo the Defender if I did that?
