reducing wheel size to 16"

[speedmancool]

Greetings everyone.
I just bought an 2007 lr3 hse. It has the 19" wheels, but I need to change those to use the truck off road. I was thinking of aset of 16" steel wheels. But now, I dont know where to look for those wheels. I found a place, but they have a lot of options in bolt patern. Which one do I have to look for? They have 135, 4.5, 4.75, 5, 5.5. All of those in 16 x 7.5 size wheels.
Thank you so much for any advice I may get.

18 is the smallest you can go.

Brakes are too big...I believe you can go to 17", I think that's what they do in Europe, but that's it.

With those discs I doubt you will be able to fit anything much smaller than 18" rims. 17" stock alloy wheels will fit, but only if you downsize the brakes to the smaller version (available only on European base trims, I think.) In any event, the bolt pattern s/b 5 x 120.

The US V6 models have smaller front brakes vs. the SE V8 (and I presume HSE). I compared them side by side, and the V6 brakes look small enough to go with 17" wheels, but that's it. The V8 brakes require at least an 18" wheel.

There are some great tire options in 18'' size. Cooper Zeon LTZ are my favorite.

you can also get the gy mtr in 19" but the 18 is nice you get more sidewall

Thank you very much all you that answered me. I wasnt aware that the brakes would be an issue. I have a 04 Discovery and I didnt have any problems putting 16" steel wheels. I will have all your advices in mind and look for something that fits the brakes. I thak you all so much. Hope I can be useful some day.
