Just to throw my hat in the ring regarding Defender wheels on an L405. I had 22” turbines at when I purchased the car and now I have the “magic carpet” ride! Finally!

Would highly recommend!

Here is a pic

Good info in this thread, thanks for sharing. I am in week two of FFRR ownership and have a question for those running the Defender tyre size (810mm or 31.9 inches diameter) - have any of you experienced air suspension failure, will the tyres rub / can the car still move when it's sunk to the bottom of its travel?

I am buying 19" Defender wheels (style 6010) because I have an off-road adventure coming up in Morocco and want as much sidewall as possible. I have a TDV6 with small brakes so 19s will fit. Small Defender wheels are remarkably cheap, I have won a brand new set of take-offs with new Continentals for £325 but don't physically have them yet.

Ideally I would like to use the Defender size 255/65 which gives me 165mm sidewall, or I could play it safe with 255/60 which is 153mm sidewall and matches the L405 normal diameter. Knobbly all terrains with deep tread will add a bit vs a normal road tyre. I don't plan on using the Continentals in Morocco as I want as much puncture resistance as possible.

Thanks, and I will post photos once fitted.
