Only if they are of the chrome spinning variety mate........ Laughing

In all seriousness though.....work out the radius of your rims now plus tyre diam....might just mean a silly low profile tyre on the 22" and the 'wheel' size no bigger than what you have.....if that makes sense. 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

Just a query boys, was looking at the range rover sport wheels and thought I wonder Laughing

Keep looking at mine and thinking there nothing wrong with em, not a mark on em - then I look thru eBay and other sites and see some nice ones and wanna change em (I don't know) Confused BETTER looking half of the famous Twinlanders

How about a colour change on yours mate? Place near me is £200 for a full set, stripped, dipped and powder coated. Appreciate thats nearly new set price but at least you know they are true, straight and looked after? 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Stornoway Grey

My car is fitted with 235/65 17" tyres which are 737mm diameter
On 22" wheels to keep the same rolling diameter you would need to run Something like a 35 or 40 profile tyre, depending on rim width. It would ride pretty hard, but look pretty cool.
Curbs would not be your friend.

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e S Manual Stornoway Grey

My step-son has 22" Overfinch wheels on his RR Vogue. It is undriveable in the snow to the point of being dangerous and not that great in rain plus it looks like a pimpmobile. Nothing wrong with upgrading wheels for appearance if you are happy to put with: degradation in ride quality, handling, steering feedback, and increased fuel consumption through wider tyres increasing rolling resistance. I went through 4 sets of wheels on my A2 before settling on a set I liked that do not adversely affect the cars dynamics. I find the mid range size wheel is usually the best on most cars for ride and dynamics. eh tu?

Why the obsession with ever larger wheels? They look ridiculous IMHO. They need low profile tyres that ruin the ride and are easily damaged on our rapidly deteriorating roads and reduce the off-road capabilities. "Land Rovers with low profile tyres" is an oxymoron.

I'm with you 100%. But sometime when you and I weren't looking Land Rovers have ceased to be off-road 4x4s and have turned into 'lux motors' for the road. And since there's lots of money in that market one can see why LR would want to go along with it. And it looks like that's only going to get worse. But, for me, I'd prefer a bit more back-to-basics!

I would never go bigger than 20". I think my 19" wheels are big enough!
