Tim they fixed that problem - I know that because i got a new RRS when they came out and they had not adapted the TDV6 to run on 20's back then, and stealer would not sell them.

But now on omy 22'' I have zero vibration - at standstill and when moving - I just notice a SLIGHTLY firmer ride - which is fine and the wheels look adorable - I just miss the extra coasting the 20's gave me. Will i change them back? probably not.......I just need to get used to it and not think about it too much!!

I thinking of going 22". Has anyone run 295/30/22's. The rolling radius appears to be almost identical to the stock 19's...

To allow 20" wheels on 2.7TDv6's LR recommended an uprated steering rack which is now standard as far as I know.

Guys.....yes the wheels look wonderful; - but truth be told, and I have been umming and ahhing about this since the weekend - I keep thinking back to the ride on the 20 S/Charge wheels - and I do have to say I miss the smoothness of the original wheels - it just seems to glide with the previous ones, and still does with the new ones, but not all the time - any imperfections on a road seem to come thru to the car. Ok, it's not a major issue - but the smooth ride is what sold me on this car in the first place - so I might be getting my old ones back. Sounds like a lot of hassle - but I have a trip to Manchester this weekend - will see how I get on on the motorway etc. Seems a shame as they car looks incredible with them on but......

my toyos are look great they have the directional tread pattern and apartantly they last longer than branded tyres as they are of a harder compound!

Japs - be sure to know that even the 20's are not OEM - news update am keeping my 22''s - they are fine......and they look beautiful!

Japs just back from doing 700 miles on my new wheels and they ride as soft as ever - must have been that fresh out of the box and new rubber syndrome - any firmness seems to have gone now - and even my wife thinks they ride as good as the 20's - and yes mine were from Chelsea Harbour - they will give you a good price on your 20's regardless of condition - so give em a call. Fich told me a few weeks ago LR were close to signing off on 22'' s but due to logistical reasons didn't. As mentioned before my stealer sells new TDV8's with 22's on them - and they would query warranty claims from new owners? i think not....even their parts department have offered to source me new 22'' stormers.

22's and a soft ride

I changed from 19's to 20's and noticed the ride get firmer - clearly you have nice smooth roads down south

Kaine the roads are better up north - yes even in wales But seems starnge since being back I notice it rides softer than when I first got them done - and not because I am used to it.

Wife has signed off on a new TDV8 - but still not sure I will change as I have spent 5K on mods on my TDV6....get me new Maser GTour in a few weeks so maybe purse strings will be pulled again when Mrs Nick sees the insurance and running costs!!!

Hope you're all on for the meet on the 16th of August......please all spread the word...
