Thread: TDV8 19" rims and tyres

The TDV8 Vogue looks like the bargain of the century to me at current prices. I was doing the same but they all seem to have 20inch rims and I was thinking of whether my spare D4 19inch rims could be used to replace the 20's if I bought one. Drivesafe doesn't think much of them though, after his problems.


From what I can gather the offset is different to the D4 so D4 19 inch rims or GOE 18 inch rims may not fit. Also, GOE doesn't mention the L322 at all. However, that is only what someone posted on here and I don't know the real facts.


Maybe Gordon will chime in and provide some advice because I gave up on it and will stick to Discos based mainly on the 20 inch rims.

This one has 19" rims already, I was hoping to go to 18" tyres. Alternately stay with the current rims and get a 19" tyre with more wall height.

You are lucky if you can find one with 19 inch wheels. A lot of the manufacturer's details on Carsales say 19 inch wheels but the sellers text says 20 inch or more and the photos show more than 19. The Wicki says there was a shortage of 19 inch wheels and a lot in Aus were fitted with 20 inch. I would only consider buying one if at least 19 inch wheels can easily be fitted and preferably GOE 18 inch.


Good luck with your purchase. It should be a great vehicle if you can get the right one.

GOE 18's fit all early TDV8 Vogues (3.6 litre 6 speed auto).

A Member on here (another Chris) has them on his TDV8 Vogue in Brisbane (jealous )

Sadly, they will NOT fit the later (MY11 onwards I recall) with the bigger 380mm/365mm brakes, also used on TDV8 L405 cars. ie All 4.4TDV8 8 speed cars got BIGger brakes again. 19's WILL fit these cars, but only certain styles of 19 inch rim. TDV8 "Luxury" models and Autobiog models always got 20 inch or above;

So, only a very few, non Luxury model RRV's TDV8's cars are out there riding on 19's.

cheers

Ive confirmed the current tyres are 255/55 19.

and presumably doesn't have the fluffyness of the cut-in/cut-out off the 3.0's secondary turbo. When upshifting whilst the secondary is in use but not particularly in use at the lower revs of the higher gear, ie between about 2000 and 2300 rpm in the lower gear, my 3.0 losses its way in maintaining torque. I expect the TDV8 with its true twin turbos would be silky smooth.

Yes can't wait. A turbo for each bank.
