After having a look at a couple of these now these are for changing from the original wheels but the wheels where on when i got it they are 22" with low profile tyres which i hate you cant even go up a kerb with them so I would like a bit chunkier tyre but as they are already 22" im not sure of how chunky a tyre I can go with.......

Why not get some 19inch wheels and tyres? You'll be suprised how much the ride improves.

Excellent suggestion 19" or 18" make for a much improved ride, much better off-road, and no significant adverse change in on-road handling, as some have suggested, in my experience.

Why do people do it? Less is more. Personally I think a D3 / D4 just about gets away with 20 inch, but anything else, particularly aftermarket wheels, make it look pants - a real drug dealing chav car if you know what I mean.New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)
