bluebarchetta - according to other posts on this forum we are already having trouble finding a suitable off road tyre in 18 or 19" sizes let alone a 30" one!!
Imagine driving over a small pebble in Access Mode. Your passengers would leave small indentations in the roof lining.
Still a bloke can dream can't he?

I thought the very same thing about the stagecoach wheels recently when I was looking at a wheel that was too big for the vehicle and had sparse spokes.

I'm here! With a nice shiny new 22" wheel and tyre on the nearside rear, to boot! 30's would actually give a larger rolling diameter than the existing setup, so you'd lose a lot of torque and acceleration.
BTW am I STILL the only person here with 22's? Come on you lot, get blinged! 2005 Disco 3 TDV6 7 seater. Leather, DVD, fully colour-coded.
