TDV8 New Wheels
Keep getting punctures in the TDV8 - 4 in the last 12 months. Local dealer thinks its a combination of poor roads in the country and low profile tyres.
TDV8 has the oem 20" wheels. Thinking of replacing them with 19" and higher profile tyres.
But ..... does anyone know if I can with the Brembo brakes? Will they catch on 19" wheels?
Any help really appreciated?
ThanksTDV8 RRS

You can fit 19" wheels with the Brembos with no probs. Which is what I will do when I move to the country as well.
Any smaller and the only option is to go for the modified Bowler wheels. A search on here should bring up the topic.TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

I live if the countryside and have had no puncture problems with the skinny sidewalls or ride issues on them on rutted/potholed roads. I have a set of RRS 19" wheels with Pirelli Snow and Ice tyres for the winter use and for when my 20's are in having the kerbing dings being refurbed.
Chris the 19" is the smallest wheel you can fit to the RRS with Brembos, if you are going for an aftermarket wheel be very careful to check that the wheel is rated for the RRS's weight - there is now a big choice of tyres in the right rating for RRS now - take a look over on our sister forum www.disco3.co.uk where there is a tyres and wheels section2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
