I have a friend who just purchased a 2004 range rover and he wants to change the 18" wheels to 16" wheels. Can anybody provide me with some information on this subject. Thanks in advance, Tarek |

Terek: I'm completely unaware of any geniune or after market wheels...that meet the 16 inch need. They probably are similar size to something BMW uses if thats anyhelp |

cant be done.. 18 is as small as it gets. the reason is that the diameter of the brake disc wont allow anything smaller than an 18" wheel. |

Yeah, although the bolt pattern is the same, Gil is right about the brakes. However, I have seen people put on some DII 18 inchers on the RR 4.4 and then you can have some better tire choices, although off-road tires in that size are rare and probably very expensive. |
