Hi Everyone

Looking at buying a S/C V8 on a 55 plate and was wondering what wheel size I could go down to i.e. 18" or not?

Looking to do some off roading and wanted to get as much tyre sidewall as possible without affecting the brakes etc.

I think on the L322 the std size wheel was 20" but stand to be corrected and I have seen 18" rims on a L322 before but I think that was a 4.4 V8 and not the S/C version. "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

19" is the smallest you can fit on the 4.2 due to the calipers. Ask me how I know  Land Rover Addict

DMRR, my guess is you bought some 18" that would not fit

Thank you for the reply and 19" it would have to be then  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.

Hi,

Nah - luckily I had some 19" from my previous L322 (4.4 V fitted with MT/R's - so I put them on the 4.2SC for the Belgium National back in 2006 - the rims only just cleared the calipers so there is literally no way an 18" would have gone on! Land Rover Addict

Been onto the Compomotive site and according to the site the 18” don’t fit the S/C L322  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.

They fit the 4.2 ? 4.2 SC - sold , now bought back

Not according to the Compomotive site but would love to know for definite - anyone shed any light? "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.

I can only speak from experience and say that LR don't make an 18" that fits over the braking system. If another company does then just make sure the wheels are rated correctly - because NO WAY was there a big enough gap between the calipers/disk set up on my 4.2SC after fitting 19s that would make me think 18s would work  Land Rover Addict

I have 19 on at the moment with the winter tyres and it is tight over the calliper

Well, according to Barry from Compomotive the 18” do fit the V8 S/C so just need to find a decent one  "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you.

I reckon you'll find Barry's talking out of his arse
