Hey there, just wanted to check in to see what others have been doing. Its that time of the year and yes I am getting some winter rubber. The thing is the dealer said 17" steels wouldnt fit (because of the brakes obviously) but it sure looks like you could get a 17" rim on there to me(Ive got plenty of experience doing winter tires on various cars..) Just wondering if anyone has gone down to 17's for the winter?
Im pretty much set on which tire I want. Im really just curious about rims.(Id like to have a full seperate set, not swap rubber on the stock rims every season).

Thanks [8D]

edit: oh ya, what is the bolt pattern on the car(aswell as the center hole diameter)?

same as any other years? thanks

 

Ok, so i found out some info....

Bolt Pattern: 5 x108
Center Bore: 63.5
Offset : +35


gonna triple check these numbers on monday


edit: three yrs later.... ended up with some 17" wheels in the right fitment with 235/65/17 tires. perfectly fine for the lr2. downsizing for winter is common practice

 

They (cheaper models -GS) come with 17" rims in UK ...

 

Hi! I looked into doing separate wheels, but frankly, the price wasn't worth it. I just installed 18" Hakkas on my LR2. I don't believe 17" will fit on your LR2, just from what my tire place told me. I wonder why you want to go down a size in winter? I've never heard of this.

 

does this bolt pattern apply for all the model years, I have a 2010 and would like to downsize also to 17" what wheels did you end up getting?

 

I want to say yes, look at the tire sticker, it will give you a list of tires that fit. then just buy the rims to match.

 

I'm curious about downsizing my wheel also, did u get a land rover wheel or after market wheels?
