I'm a newbie to the landrover forum and was hoping someone could help me out. I have a 2010 LR4 HSE and I want to upgrade my tires to something more rugged, knobbier, for light off-roading and to look a little tougher. Based on the research I've done it looks like the best option is to get new 20" wheels or 18" wheels to have the greatest tire options. With that said, my questions are:
(1) I prefer to get the 20" landrover wheels. Found them used on ebay in good condition. If I swap these for my 19", will there be any addtional upgrades required? Do I need johnson rods or anything to avoid rubbing? I'm not looking for monster tires or a lift, just something similar to the BFG ATs that will work well and handle well. Any suggestions on the tire size if I go this route?
(2) If I go with the 18" wheels (also found on ebay), I plan to get the BFG AT 18" tires. Just concerned that these will actually be smaller than my existing tires but i've heard they handle better. Is this true?
If you were considering this, what would you do? Thank you to anyone who can provide some insight.
