Hi All,

Found some alloys that I quite like but they are 16x8!! Not a bad thing but don't know if they will look too big from standard look! Is anyone else running this size? If so can you post any pics as I'd really like to see what they look like... Thanks All... Don't want top look too overwheeled!!! :doublethumbs:

Only 1" bigger in diameter, they'll look fine

16's are common on Land Rovers, it'll just mean that you have a marginally bigger selection of tyres to choose from.

15's and 16's look good, I've seen a Hilux on 20's (with 33" tyres) and it looked stupid. Like a roller skate or something. The owner seemed to agree - he sold them and put 15's on with 33's and it looks much better.

Here's mine on some 16s, looks a bit silly because the tyres are too small for my arches, they are cut out for 33s (As you can see in my avatar<), would look good with standard arches though

Doesn't look as bad as Sparks's Hilux on 20's, but yeah - that's a bit weird.

15's and 16's are ideal for a little zook. My Vit and LJ run 15's with 30" and 33" tyres. Look great I think!
