    2018 Discovery Sd4 (240) HSE Lux Carpathian Grey

    Swapping Wheels 22" to 20"

    Hi

    Just got my D5 HSE Lux, coming from a DS HSE. Loving the car and it is a significant step up in terms of ride, luxury and price!

    I've got an ex LR management vehicle and it came with 22" wheels. I checked the tyre prices for this size wheel and was shocked to see Scorpion verde's come in at £350 each. So, I decided to purchase some 20" wheels off ebay (the standard ones that come with the HSE) and get them painted black. I went to change them over at the weekend and having put the first one on, realised that they sit further back from the wheel arch than the 22" - obvious really given that they are 2" narrower!

    They looked a bit odd in comparison to the other wheels and I wondered whether anyone else had changed down wheel sizes and had similar concerns?
    Anyone used wheel spacers to bring them out a bit?

    Any advice or suggestions most welcome.

    Cheers
    Mike

    Hi Mike perhaps 21in would have been better, I know 22in is a harder ride. I have 21in and the ride is great. You would get your money back selling them on eBay

    They’re £250 a corner on Tyre Leader if that helps.

    22”s look so much nicer IMO

    Thanks for the tip about Tyre Leader, they are really cheap.

    Black circle etc was more like £375.00 per tyre! Big Cry
