Evoque a bit tame from behind, Wider rims maybe?
Hi, I think the evoque looks a tame from behind. Anyone knows aftermarket rims that's a bit wider something like 9,5 or 10 inch so i can fit 285 och 295 wheels to get a more agressive look from behind. Something like Bmw X6
anyone knows where to find this rim?

thx

The listing is off ebay...you are right about being tame.

Got mine : Dynamic Fuji White with Lux Pack and black contrast roof.
Optional extras : Privacy glass, Heated steering wheel and TPMS.

There's a ridge on the back bumper which is there to cover the technical homologation requirement that the wheels should not extend beyond the bodywork, so you are already at the limit with the existing wheels.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Also your warranty is blown out of the water if you fit wider wheels than OEM, it's tough being a Land Rover owner and a fashion victim.
You just have to read the 100's of posts about fitting 22" and bigger wheels on RRS/D3/D4/FFRR and 75% change back to standard 20's after a couple of weeks - they either suffer cracked wheels because of the weight of the car or the ride is unbearable even on the air suspension, most do it because "the car looks mean with bigger wheels" but bigger wheels aren't everything!.
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
