L322 Mud Terrain Setup

Hi Everyone! I've just got myself a 2003 L322 Range Rover Vogue 3.0 TD6!
I work at muddy festival sites over the summer months and want to setup my landy to be able to best cope with the muddy conditions.

I was thinking along the lines of 16 Inch Alloys & BFG mud terrain tyres.

Should I be thinking about a lift kit?

Anything else I need to consider for muddy conditions?

Thank's all!

You wont need a lift kit, the air suspension raised up should suit unless you choose to fit huge tyres which you equally shouldnt need!

Can you recommend any specific rims and tyres?

I'm struggling to find any 16" OEM wheels for the L322. Should I go with 16" aftermarket or 18" OEM wheels?

I thought 17s were original?

They start at 18s from what I can figure out:

So looks like I'm limited to 18s. This is what I'm looking at:

Malatesta Kamel 225/60R18



with Range Rover 18 Inch alloys

I'm sure the Malatestas are remoulds .
As remoulds with very deep blocks you're likely to find persistence is required with the tyre fitters to make sure they balance the tyres fully - rather than give up when they think they're running out of space for balance weights. The L322 is fairly well known to be sensitive to tyre imbalance & all remoulds mud tyres are well known to be very variable.
I have to run 3 layers of stick on weights (more than 300gr) on some of the wheels on my D2 using Insa Turbo mud terrains (admittedly slight more extreme than your proposed tyres) .
Also beware that clip on weights on the rim bead are more likely to be rubbed off if you get into deep mud.
Stick-on weights definitely stay in place much better.
