Smaller wheels for my RRS

Can anyone give me advice about the smallest rim that will fit on my 2008 RRS, seeing as I am destroying my 20's offroad.

Get 18's or 19's depending what tyres you want to use. More choice with the 18's. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Alicatt.

What is the road noise like and general handling with 19" mtr's

I assume a lot lower top speed should be used?
I took my 20" contis off for the shooting season and fitted a set of 19" Wranglers. Seem really good except a little vague on motorways. Against what i would have expected. The 20" seem to track better??

I have to keep correcting the 19" as if they are being drawn by road ruts.  SDV8 vogue SE.
Corris grey and ivory leather + most of the toys.

Gone TDV8 RR Sport. Never to be forgotten.

A "LOT" more road noise, will be glad to get the 20" Contis back on again! Motorway driving is ok, it is the lower speed on the country roads here I have to be careful as it is a a little vague. the speed rating is a lot lower too, 112 mph if I remember correctly. braking and cornering is still ok and I run out of nerve before I ran out of grip Shocked It was wet and exiting the R0 ring road round Brussels going on to the E314 towards Achen it is very tight with a 70km/h speed limit was still doing over 110km/h entering the corner exited the corner at 90km/h with white knuckles Shocked Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

This is meant for Alicatt. You say you have the 19" wheels. May I ask which ones are these? Do they fit the RRS TDV8 2008 model?

Thank for any assistance you can give if you are still reading these posts.

Thanks Alicatt for your very informative and quick reply. I was going to send you an image from my brochure but I do not understand how to do this. My brochiure's 19" wheels are similar but different from yours. I don't want to make a mistake when ordering. Do you have a part number available? I hope I am not troubling you too much over this.

PS. Interesting number plate - very low number - are these easily obtainable?
