Default Can 15" wheels fit on a 1997 4.6 HSE

Hello,
My truck has 18' wheels but I am looking to put 15" or 16" on my Rover and wanted to know if there would be any clearance issues with the brakes. Has anybody tried this? I want to use factory Rover wheels. What models have you used? Thanks!

I am not sure since I have never tried. I am willing to bet though that 16" will fit since they come on the Discovery and I am willing to bet the brakes are similar in size. If you know someone that has a set of 16's then give it a try, or if you can find the 15's do that as well.

I have 16" stock rims on mine. I would not go lower than 16 though, from the looks of mine, there isn't much clearance between the brake caliper or the steering bar (probably only 1/2 inch). You should be able to find these rims on ebay without any issues.
