Anyone know if the steelies can go onto the P400 (with caliper mods, of course) without spacers? I've read posts where they add spacers and I'm not sure if the spacers were for cosmetic reasons or if they were needed to keep from rubbing. Anyone know or have experience? I get that the rear calipers need modding, I'm just confirming offsets. I'm think they should be fine, but want to confirm.

According to the good folks at Lucky8 they have done a caliper swap with the white OEM steelies on a p400. There is a picture of it somewhere in the "why dont lucky 8 release the part number thread" I think.

Absolutely required. I mean, they will fit without spacers, and they will turn, but you will hear minor rotational rubbing sounds. 30mms take care of it. (20s might, but 30s definitely do.)
At least that’s true of the black steelies. Maybe the white paint is thinner and they’ll work?
What's the forum consensus on the steelies below... When I first saw the defender launch i was basically in love with that look. But now that I have put in my near 70k order that specifically features these, I am a little bit hesitant. Does it cheapen the look of the LR ? Or is it "The way god intended" I am really torn here, I can see both sides of the story. What say you?
Beautiful. I have two living in my small neighborhood in Midtown Atlanta, bizarrely. One is about 3 streets over, one is on a street that intersects mine. Both are street-parked 24-7.
