will Evoque rims fit on the LR2?

I just got offered a set of 20" evoque rims from a member of the club here for 600 quid with tyres on... Will they fit? Will they just look stupid?

(they are the evoque version of the "pasty" rims)

I'm no expert on the subject of wheels but, will not 20" wheels impair the off-road performance of your FL2 as opposed to running with 17" which I understand is the size that LR themselves suggest is the optimum size traversing rough terrain Question

Yes they will fit as the PCD of the wheel nuts is exactly the same. They essentially use the same foundation brakes despite Evoque having Electronic Parking Brake. The wheel centre badges are also interchangeable.
If you change your tyres and/or wheel size then you'll need to also re-set your sat-nav which is easily done via the menu.

Why pay £600 for a downgrade? Wink

Its not all playing in the mud for me unfortunately.. hence the reason I had to get rid of the defender.. but the LR2 does look pretty classy with the standard 19" rims but the dealer wanted 2thou for them new... and the diamond cut ones on the sport... 3 grand! (plus tyres on both prices)

Cant wait too see the pics!!! get them taken already!! : )

Phew 2 Grand.
If my memory is accurate I've seen those 19"ers sold on Scumbay for around GBP£650 for a set.

Therefore LRswe is it not possible to run over the Ostersund bridge and drive down to Ijmuden to catch the DFDS ferry on a cheap less than 5 day return bilge class cabin to Newcastle return - then back to Sweden with change left in your pocket from a Grand Question

I found a brand new set of 20" fitted with Michelins (£300+ a wheel) for £900 via Overfinch who'd just taken them off a new Evoque upgrade Smile
When they arrive and I fit them I'll snap away. 2008 FL2 TD4 XS Zermatt Silver, Manual

The ultimate answer is yes they very much fit, with no adjustments at all.

I have just bought a set of new 2012 Evoque 18" with Pirelli Verde's on ebay for £600 with another £45 for the courier. Then got £120 net for my old wheels with just legal tyres on so £525 quid new wheels and tyres, cant be bad.
