20 Inch wheels on P38

There are plenty of people who I'm sure couldn't give two hoots, but for those that do, thought I'd let you know what I found.

I tried the 22" wheels and they fit (Just!) There was a bit of rubbing on the inner wheelarches at full lock but the tramlining on the road was appalling.

I then fit the 20" wheels with 275/40 tyres and they are superb. They fit perfectly, there's no rubbing and I don't think they look too out of place or oversized.

Another tip, I bought them from a great company that supplied Spigot Rings, Stainless L322 wheelnuts and a set of Thatcham wheelnuts, wheels and tyres and arranged fitting. They are called sixonetwo.

Here's the end result (Cue - Jokes about lack of mud, Chelsea tactor etc, etc....)

Nice choice with the Firestorm alloy, looks like the Stormer but isn't!
Those were my first choice but SWMBO steered me towards the Eltex 5 spoke.
I'm running my 20"s on 275/45/20 General Grabber UHP tyres. Although the tyre size / speedo is out slightly (71Mph at 70Mph) the 45 pprofile tyre is significantly cheaper...about £105 a corner.
My profile Avatar shows them in all there shiney glory.

Absolutely superb! i was going to go with those exact wheels when i get the bodywork and eas faults sorted, looks the bollocks!

I got a few pics of a p38 on here that has the same wheels and is flip painted and has to be 1 of the best p38`s i`ve seen, what colour is yours?

I've seen that one. It belngs to Jamesautobiography. That sort of inspired me. My car is Oxford Blue with a colour coded grill, bumpers and mirrors. Interior is full autobiography spec, cream with piping. Took me a while to find it but love it.

This weekend I put on the wheels, complete with Black and silver "Supercharged-spec" Land Rover centre caps. I also replaced the badges front and rear with black and silver versions.

Quite keen to lose the light guards but think they'll leave ugly holes in the bodywork. Could always fill them with rubber grommets.

I think these wheels look very 'factory' and add way more value to the car than just their face value. I guess we'll see.

i think chrome mirror covers would go down well but are so hard to find, there was a set on ebay but the guy would not entertain me when i asked where he got them or if he had contact info for whoever made them, not a problem if you own a l322 rr as there is chrome everwhere for them guess we`ll have to wait til someone does them.

Chrome mirrors probably a bit too in your face for me. I am thinking of adding Chrome strips to the leading edges of the grill. Like this:
