help with 19'' wheels for TDV8 / Brembo

I need to swap 20'' wheels for 19'' 'cause the roads here in Rome are getting worst every day.As if this was not enough, I' ve had to change tyres and bought 4 Bridgestone Dueler HP 275/40/20 that are hard as concrete...I can' t stand this anymore. I' ve bought (ebay) four 2010 design 19'' 15 spoke rims but these just DO NOT FIT my RRS (due to Brembos) so BE AWARE OF THIS if you have a Brembo fitted model.
I need to know which genuine LR 19'' rim can fit my car......on the 2008-2009 LR brochure there are 2 :
RRC502280MNH and RRC505370MNH.
Does anyone know these two rims and has them fitted on a TDV8 HSE with D.R: and Brembos like mine ?

United States 2006 Range Rover Sport 4.4 V8 HSE Chawton White

Both 5V-spoke designs of 19x9 wheel for the Range Rover Sport will fit over the Brembo calipers of 2006-2009 models. The key is that they are both 9" wide.

Standard 19" design for MY2006, since discontinued but still plenty available on auction web sites (careful as there are a few used 19x8 with this same design out there, briefly used on MY05s. If you are buying this style, make absolutely sure it's 9" wide):


Current standard 19" design ("Off-road Style 1" on the 2010 brochure, but has been available since MY2007):


AFAIK, the "new" 15-spoke 19" wheel for the 2010 Sport (Style 5 on the 2010 brochure) is only 8.5" wide, that's why it won't fit over your Brembos.

thanks Umbertob, very helpful !

I've checked with LR assistance yesterday and they've confirmed that 2010 design 15 spoke 19'' are not compatible with my 2008 TDV8+Brembo....but they've confirmed also that the 2 previous models 19'' rims, as you've said, are ok.

About the 15 spoke, it's wierd but these rims are actually 19x9 ! To be exact "9j x 19'' EH2+"
...it's stamped inside the rim behind the spokes...
this makes even more difficult to understand why they do not fit 2008 TDV8/Brembos cars.

BTW I thought it could be important to share this info as I 'll soon be posting an adv. for these rims on this forum
prior to go for Ebay so I don't want anyone to make the same mistake as I did,i.e. to be tempted by beautiful rims (really in conditions as new) that won't fit a pre MY 2010 car....unless someone meanwhile checks compatibility with pre MY 2010 cars WITHOUT Brambo brakes...
