Do I need to do the alignment if I am changing from 19" to 18"? or just a simple swap? Cheers Freelander 2 XS MY 2012, 19" rims, Barolo Black. Privacy glass, spoiler.

Just swap, no problem. Alignment will not change 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Glad to see someone going for smaller wheels and, presumably, higher profile tyres. I can't understand the current fetish for huge wheels with low profile tyres, especially on 4*4s. Far more expensive, not as comfortable to ride on and don't look any better IMO. My previous Mitsubishi Pajeros had great-looking 15" alloys and were cheap as chips to keep in good quality long-lasting rubber. "That's the way to do it!" Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

Yup, True. I feel happier with 18 comfort wise. Freelander 2 XS MY 2012, 19" rims, Barolo Black. Privacy glass, spoiler.
