We have a couple of choices here in the US (I think Nitto also makes a Terra Grappler in a 20" size that would fit our cars, not sure if either brands are available in Europe), see threads below. However, as VA points out, your 20s are still at risk. There is only so much sidewall you can put between alloys and the ground when you run 20s...

Thanks a lot Umberto, I really appreciate this info. I know, is not the best Idea to run of road with 20”s. At the moment I have chance to have a second set of 20” wheels, so I can ply hard with one and have the second for regular use.
I already have some scratches on my present 20” set, but I can’t resist going off road Twisted Evil .
If I buy a LR is to enjoy, if not there are many sport cars!! Whistle
Which ones are those?? Are those the Cooper Zeon LTZ 275/45R20?

Yes Yuri, those are Cooper Zeon 275/45s. 285/50s would be better, but it may be a very close call on the stock rims, something somewhere may rub (I don't know if anyone has tried that size yet.)

If I buy 19 x 8.5 wheels, which are the tires size that I can use for off road?
What tire do you recommend? Yuri

Unless there is something new that became available very recently, the only good, true all terrain tyre available for 19" rims is still the hard-to-find Goodyear Wrangler MT/R sized 255/55R19. It is the tyre of choice of G4 fitted RRS, both because it is a terrific offroader and because, well, there ain't much else available in that size. Confused

Unfortunately for us in North America, that MT/R is only available in Europe or occasionally through some very expensive "unauthorized" importers, and the recent freefall of the US$ versus all European currencies has only made things worse for us. But you should be able to locate those donuts in Europe. Lucky you.
