Hi everybody

Do fit 19'' Mts and wheels on RRS 3.6l TDV8 2008 with Brembobrakes?

Thanks for your answer Daniel

You can fit certain 19in wheels over the Brembo brakes. There are not many choices of MT that fit 19in wheels, sadly. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Goodyear Duratrac
Cooper Zeon LTZ


You may have to go to a 55 profile though...

Neither of those is really a MT though. The LTZ is definitely an AT and I think the Duratrac is more "extreme AT" than MT. Both in /55 profile as you say.

Atturo make the Trail Blade M/T in 255/55/19 but I don't know if they're easy to get hold of. It is a "proper" MT tyre though:

In 20 in rim sizes, they do the Trail Blade XT (in 275/45/20) which looks like a good compromise off road tyre:

Tailblade looks awesome  Daniel

The front left wheel will fit - I have those on my TDV8. I think the others will too. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

My solution. Compomotive pd1880
They fit on my rrs with Brembo pack, although even 18"
Phonic blocks have to be turnen 189 degrees. Fairly easy job with a standard Allen key.
In 18" there are a lot more options in tires. I fitted general all terrain.

IIRC the Compomotive PD1880 wheels were specially made for Bowler for the Bowler Nemesis RRS-a-like that was nearly a tonne lighter and an offroad racer. The forum looked into doing a Group Buy of them but even when we got 20 sets of 4(that was the minimum order number!) they were hugely expensive and we didn't go ahead. There were also concerns IIRC that their load rating was not high enough for the weight of the RRS1 as they were meant for a lightweight GRP/Carbon Fibre bodied Nemisis not a steal bodied Land Rover RRS! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I must damit I have a little bit of an advantadge.
I have my own company in specialty vehicle lighting (for emergency services and rallysport) and a few connections in the rally world.
We supply a number of Bowler teams with our lights and hence I was able to contact Compomotive.
I can now order them at a single set each time, rather than an enormous badge of 20 sets at a time.

Did the same thing for a few Lotus friends, they also run their trackday tires on Compomotive.

Just curious, what was the quotation to the forum members?

Your weight calculations are correct. The rrs is about 2650kgs empty, the Nemesis is between 1800-1900 kgs, dependant on the version. Beautiful vehicle though!

Best regards Ruud-Peter

We designed the PD1881 Compomotive specifically for the D4 / RRS - it's load rated to 980kg.
