Hi all im contemplating a 00' RangeRover HSE. i think the stock size tires are 255/55/18's... i was contemplating changing tires to 16" rims... what are the various choices? what is the equivalent 16 tire and what would be a little taller/bigger??? also, what kind of rims could i put on a 00'??? are there D2 rims that are 16" that are a one to one swap out? thanks KEN | ||

Ken, I just bought a 97 RR 4.6 HSE and was considering the same thing. I believe the D2 16" rims and the 16" rims for the RR are the same (are interchangable). The equivalant size 16" tire is 255/65/16, which is stock on the D2. If this is wrong, someone correct me before I make a mistake buying rims!! Unfortunately there aren't a lot of choices from the quality tire manufacturers for the 18" rims. I know because I am putting new tires on as well. I bit the bullet and bought Michelin 4x4 Synchrones. It's my wife's truck so it wont be doing much off road until I get it. It appears you haven't bought the truck yet. We've had ours a week and love it. You should buy the truck (assuming everything checks out) if you haven't already! | ||

Lots of RR info here: http://www.rangerovers.net/rrtires.htm#mkii DII and P38 Rims are all the same, just choose the 16" style you like. | ||

different question regarding RR and tires... Please correct me if im wrong but... 16 inch D2 wheels should be interchangable on a 00 RR. (correct offset and bolt pattern) I was thinking of mounting some 245/75/16 MT/R's (from my Disco) on some D2 rims and using them as my "off road" tires for a 00'RR. and i have two questions. 1. GY recomends a rim size of 6.5-7.5" for the 245's and the D2 rims are 8". will mounting 245's on a 8" rim be "crazy/un safe"???? its only a 1/2 difference. for a 10ply E rated tire i cant imagine that being "extream"... 2. is anyone else running 245/75/16's on 8"rims??? thanks |
