Hi Guys

I currently have 265 60/r18 110h tyres on my car. The car is on the 56 plate and I was wondering what 19 or 20 inch wheel/tyre combo could be used to replace these ones. I look forward to any replies.

Cheers

Elena

You should have 255/60/18 as standard
If you wish to upgrade keeping standard sizes then you want

255/55/19
255/50/20

Hi thanks for the speedy response, would you go for the 19, 20 or stick with the 18 inch. Any ideas why I would have 265 tyres on my car and not the standard 255?

Cheers

i had those on mine elena, i think LR brought a cheap batch of them during 2005/2006 ...

because yours is a td6 you will find that when stationary and in drive the car will vibrate a bit if you on 20'', nothing serious but annoying and you'll get in the habit of clicking into neutral when at traffic lights...
i'm on 20'' but if i had the chance ,i'd stick 19'' on which stills gives a comfortable ride and look good ... - .- -.

Hi Stan thanks for the advice, watching some 19 inch ones on eBay. Does the spare have to be the same size wheel etc.

Cheers

the spare doesnt have to be the same but its desirable for it to be... ... - .- -.

19s are a good upgrade for the TD6 without making for too harsh a ride, also a bit less tyrewall reduces the cornering roll effect

Steer clear of 20s though

Hi, thanks for your advice just bought a set of 19 inch wheels with tyres. Do I need to have the suspension settings set to anything other than normal before changing the wheels please, may be a silly question but thought I should ask it, cheers.

Hi Elena
I am sure there are issues with what type of wheel nuts are required depending on the age of vehicle and wheels but I am sure someone who knows will supply the correct information soon ( or do a search)
ditto for jacking up. Mine was a blue one!

Stan why is there a vibration issue on the td6 with the 20s on 2004 td6 Adriatic Blue

Don't know the reason for the vibration with 20s on the TD6, but LR do not recommend fitting them.

@enumbers, its the change in inertia and stiffness of the wheels allows a torsional resonance through the driveline from the engine firing pulses... ... - .- -.

Cheers for the explanation its crazy that the reduction in flex in the tyre wall would cause a noticeable effect 2004 td6 Adriatic Blue
