Offroad Prep for 2006 RR TD6
jstrat:
Hello all,
I am looking for some advice on wheels amongst other things for preping my RR for offroad use. Its a 2006 RR Vouge SE TD6 with 19" Standard wheels.
I want to get hold of some extra wheels to put dedicated offroad tyres on, the problem is I can find nothing online to help (Unless I want to buy somewhat useless sparkling 22" pimp rims of course and then every man and his dog has some! *shudder*). Short of going back to Land Rover and buying a full set of 19" or 18" from them I am stuck. Whats the story on fitting wheels from an older model? Bolt patterns and offsets etc?
I know that I can get 19" MT tyres, but I would preffer a smaller rim with a bit more choice of tyre type, and a bit more side wall.
Also does anyone know anywhere to get under body protection for this model?
Thats it for now, any help or advice greatly recieved.
Cheers
Jason

p38 rr rims have the same stud pattern but u would need to get a set of wheel nuts for a p38 and u would also need to have the center made larger by about 2mm diameter i think but i am not shure wether 16inch rims would fit over the calipers if thats any help

Actually I found a set of four 18" RR wheels online at a good price. So now I just need to find a good set of tires to go on them.
Thats not such an easy thing either! From what I can find the only readilly available tire is the General Grabber AT2 in 255/55R18. This seems to be a good tire but I was hoping to go slightly oversize not undersize. This is a 29" diameter tire when the standard fitment for 2006 RR is 30" diameter.
Not sure what impact this is going to have if any, but it just doens't "feel" quite right going smaller.
Anyone know of any alternatives for this size?

Hi there . .. check my galleries. I have a 2006 Vogue SE SC which I put 19" rims with MT/R's on (despite LR saying they would not fit). THere is also some other stuff in there regarding recovery points.
The wheels and tyres are for sale if you are interested :-) They are 255/55R19 Goodyear MT/R's. On road they are noisier than normal, I have just taken them off due to the fact that 400bhp on wet roads with muds is far far far too silly. THey are *awesome* in the sticky stuff tho!
