Size of Rims vs Offroad Capability
I noticed most of the reviews, when the Evoque is brought offroad, it normally uses the 18" wheels. Does this mean 19" & 20" compromises its offroad abilities?

RE: Size of Rims vs Offroad Capability
No, but you will run a greater risk of pinch-flats and damage to your alloys running 20's offroad due to the lower sidewalls. It isn't too easy to find All Terrain or Mud Terrain tyres in 20" size too, the largest is a 19" and even the 16" MTR's on my Defender 90 are a nightmare for the tyre guys to get balanced so a 20" will be even more difficult. I ran 19" MTR's on both my RRS and FFRR, the ride was improved over the 20's but road noise was terrible onroad
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.

Most of the press cars are equipped with 19" wheels. I don't think I've seen any with 18's

Ah yes...thanks for correcting...i had myself confused between 18" Style 2 and 19" Style 4
