    Will, what about these RRS 18" rims like I had on my P38A? You can borrow a couple if you want to see if they will clear the disc brake caliper.

    I thought their 18s didn't fit in the end.

    That's right, they don't fit (the Bearmach ones that is).

    18" alloys and wheels on 2007 RRS TDV6

    IMG_8535.jpgI photographed this wheel and tyre on a 2007 TDv6 RRS which was parked near a local supermarket this morning. As you can see its an 18" tyre. The owner of the RRS said he has owned the vehicle since new and purchased them from a tyre outlet in Port Macquarie. Said, he tows a 23 foot van all over australia. he said the rim and tyre package was heaps cheaper than the old 20 inch tyres he used to run, I should have photographed the whole vehicle and wheels. I was just curious, because I have just upgraded to 19" alloys with Wrangler duratracs. I am happy with them but would have much preferred an 18" rim. I will be making a few more inquiries locally. Anyway thought I would post it for everyones information. (the brand on the rim is "pure wheels"

    Regards Balanda

    A 2007 RRS tdv6 would be a 2.7, which had smaller callipers and accepted LR 18" wheels.

The fact that the car did not even want to move forward under extremely light throttle with highway tyres on a flat section of sand shows that the traction control system isn't really all that good (not sure what kind of sand they developed it on... maybe a tarmac road with a drift on it...). You shouldn't need to go to extremes like dropping tyres to 10psi in that scenario, it's ridiculous!

    Currently looking at Zeon LTZ's in a 285/50R20, but the weakness of the wheels still concerns me.
    Sorry if this is a silly question but I remember in my D3 that even in sand mode I'd want to turn of stability control and this would make a huge difference in sand. You'd think sand mode would turn this off but perhaps LR thought it was too much of a safety risk dunno. Its been a while since I owned the D3 so I might be remembering this wrongly but I'm pretty certain...

    The stability control would stop wheels spinning etc and cause all sorts of issues in sand... did you try turning it off? On the D3 it was just a button.. looked like a vehicle with skid marks behind it from memory on the button.
