Get 18's or 19's depending what tyres you want to use. More choice with the 18's. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Alicatt. What is the road noise like and general handling with 19" mtr's I assume a lot lower top speed should be used? I took my 20" contis off for the shooting season and fitted a set of 19" Wranglers. Seem really good except a little vague on motorways. Against what i would have expected. The 20" seem to track better?? I have to keep correcting the 19" as if they are being drawn by road ruts. SDV8 vogue SE. Corris grey and ivory leather + most of the toys. Limited edition RRS model number 0001 Gone TDV8 RR Sport. Never to be forgotten. Wife has an i8 BMW |

A "LOT" more road noise, will be glad to get the 20" Contis back on again! Motorway driving is ok, it is the lower speed on the country roads here I have to be careful as it is a a little vague. the speed rating is a lot lower too, 112 mph if I remember correctly. braking and cornering is still ok and I run out of nerve before I ran out of grip It was wet and exiting the R0 ring road round Brussels going on to the E314 towards Achen it is very tight with a 70km/h speed limit was still doing over 110km/h entering the corner exited the corner at 90km/h with white knuckles Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

This is meant for Alicatt. You say you have the 19" wheels. May I ask which ones are these? Do they fit the RRS TDV8 2008 model?

Thanks Alicatt for your very informative and quick reply. I was going to send you an image from my brochure but I do not understand how to do this. My brochiure's 19" wheels are similar but different from yours. I don't want to make a mistake when ordering. Do you have a part number available? I hope I am not troubling you too much over this.
