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.
