RRS on 22's?

[gilford]

I just bought myself a HST and was considering changing the standard stormer 20's for 22's

I've read it may invalidate the warranty, is there any truth in that? There ar hundreds out there with 22's?

Cheers

We have Overfinch Tigers in 22" in our RRS. When it was still within the manufacturer's warranty, it wasn't affected.

When fitting, you may also have to have the suspension recalibrated to avoid rubbing

I thought it would be a straight swap? A garage local to me just pop a set of 22" Overfich supersports on EVERY ranger they sell?

Weird, I am I alone in thinking a good number of people would be put off by 22" wheels?

The original 22" Overfinch Tiger wheels were fine with it's Pirelli Scorpion tyres. However, due to pot holes, 2 of these originals buckled, causes punctures.

Upon speaking to Overfinch Leeds (where we bought the car), they offered a good deal on a brand new set with the MK2 design of the Tigers with a different, tougher tyre. These tyres were a tad wider than the previous brand, causing rubbing on full lock. Took it to our local LR Dealer, and thy reprogrammed the suspension, resulting in a problem cured

Personal taste I suppose. Looks too bling for me, and doesn't float my boat. I suspect I am not alone!

My view is that a Dealer would reduce the number of potential purchasers by fitting them to all Rangys he was trying to sell. As I would find it strange if a Dealer thought all Corsa buyers want a 6" tailpipe.
