FAT_RRS's RRS! It's here, with pics!

As you can see above, I went with the 22"x10" Stomers from ebay wrapped with 285-40-22 Falken Tires

I bought some OEM Supercharged Vents from ebay ($50 USD, not bad)

I had my Escort radar detector wired into the mirror - a nice post here told me what wire to tap.. It's pretty cool, as soon as I hit unlock, the detector powers up. I don't have to hear it fire up everytime I start the car now..

Here's my engine. 600 bhp twin turbo...

JUST KIDDING! The shop I went to had some 1990 Nissan GTX that the guy wants $60K for in there. Nice work, 600bhp.... Steering wheel is on the right for all of you across the pond.

Other mods to date- I cut off the "#7" resonator on the exhaust and it sounds great. I will be adding powder coated tips in the near future..

8000K HID's are on thier way- I will post a pic of stock vs 8000K when I get them in.

Supercharged Grille may be the next purchase... anyone have one cheap? haha

Sportman, he was not serious about 600bhp.

Sport looks really good. Looks like a lot of work went on under the bonnet to make it look like that WINNER - 2008 ‘Best Thread’ Award – Beautiful Women Of The World

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Zermatt Silver

Hi FAT RRS,

was the tyre size a typing error or have you really fitted 285 40 22's

Does it affect the gearing ?
are the tyres any cheaper?

No typo, I am running 285-40-22's. No rubbing at all. My speedo is off by 7%, so I need to take it a little slower than the posted limit. When I am going 60mph, I am actually going 64...

The tires were a bit cheaper than the 285-35-22's that most people run. I found them locally and paid $215 USD per tire. Falken Ziex S/TZ-04

Here is the comparison to my stock 19's... IF you want more sidewall, the 40 is the way to go. The pics do no justice, the tires look perfect in person.

No rubbing at all. Even in access mode with the wheel turned all the way going over a bump.

I think any bigger and my tires will rub the frame or wheel well.

Totals are in inches
Sidewall Height: 4.49 = That's .53 shorter than stock
Section Width: 11.22 = That's 1.18 wider than stock
Overall Diameter: 30.98 = 1.94 greater than stock
Circumference: 97.32 = 6.09 greater than stock
Revs per mile: 651.08 = -43.43 = yes, 43 less revs per mile than stock meaning that I will keep my miles down and my warranty longer (if I don't get any trouble) hahaha
