Hey Guys,

So I seem to be going through tyres pretty quickly at the mo, twice in 3 months I have had a puncture then either the same day or the next day the spare gets a puncture!

Anyway the 19" space savers buggared, every garage sayd they can't help, found a garage that fits tyres for Lancaster LandRover and they say they are on back order and not sure when they can get them, I have found a full size supercharge alloy with tyre for less then tehy will fit a tyre for (when they can get one) will the full size alloy fit under the car? - I'm sure it will as my old supercharge spare was identical except black...

Can anyone confirm please.

MMM

I dropped the 19" spare on my 2011 car and it looked tight - not sure you could get a 20" in but certainly not a 22"

Why not give it a go...only take 10 minutes. Mike

Yes they are all 20 - i was saying you may squeeze a 20" in but certainly not a 22" if there was any doubt!

If the winch is broken that would slow you down - i would have knocked one of the road wheels off the car and tried it - doesnt take many minutes...but i appreciate that isnt an option for you; will have to wait for someone who has tried it - it did seem very tight on the 19" though...certainly at the wheel/exhaust side. Mike

Yeah saw that mate - Thanks, saved £90 though drilling the rivets, fixing the cable then sticking some flat headed bolts in to hold it all back together. - Just got to get round to fixing it back on.

Just need someone to confirm that you can fit a 20" spare wheel under the car.

When i had a puncture i put the flat one under the car no problem. (20")

Ha ha ha... yeah so I have, many times! - What a bloody idiot!

Thank you for pointing that out!

I can't believe I didn't think of that!

Move along, nothing to see here.

Good point especially as the low profile tyres dont deflate too much to not fit! Mike

As the diameter of the wheel increases the profile of the tyre decreases so you end up with an overall outside diameter that's the same - other wise the speedometer,sta nav etc would all neeed recoding when LR fited different wheel/tyre options.

So if the 19 with high profile normal fits so will a 22inch with a low profile.

whilst that is true to a point, you do recallibrate for the different tyre sizes there are options to set the tyre size to adjust the speed.

In the old days that was a different gear, but now its a option in one of the ECU's Mike
