Hi Tony - welcome to the club :welcome: :welcome:
The smallest wheels that will go on the D3 are 17" - Disco2 wheel and/or 16" wheels won't fit :thumbright:

That is assuming that you have a d3 with standard brakes. I am sending this after 2 grand beers and no lunch.

I'd be surprised, but if you've got some pics from the person who said they've done it then post them up :thumbleft:
Anything smaller than LR 17" doesn't fit as it doesn't go over the brake calliper.
If you are looking at aftermarket wheels, make sure they are the correct load rating, I can't remember what that is off the top of my head, but somebody will be along soon who does :thumbleft:

Hi Tony, try'em for size :thumbright: You'll soon see if they fit. As Clive says, check the load rating :thumbright:

I think you would need a 80 profile tyre on 16" wheels to keep the rolling cirumference
