18 inch wheels

ChrisBo · Oct 9, 2010

Hello this my first post. Just got myself a 2001 td5 gs and very impressed with it so far.
The previous owner has fitted 18 inchers off a l322 range rover and the tyre profile is 60 rather than the required 55.
Is this going to cause me any long term problems or am I ok to carry on with them.
They look well but I am prepared to replace with standard if needs be.

Thanks

Chris

Try looking at the tyre size calculator here. It will show you what difference to speedo and odometer the change has made.

Thanks good site.
Only a couple of mph difference at 70 so not as bad as I thought.

As long as your not bothered about the difference in your recorded mileage then carry on regardless. What does it look like height wise? I am seriously considering changing mine.

Looks perfect. Everyone says I should keep them. I have posted pics in Discovery gallery.

60 profile is perfectly acceptable on 18 inch wheels
