Do 19 inch wheels from current RRS fit the new model?

Hi folks, I have a 2010 RRS with 20s and a spare set of original 19 inch wheels/tyres that came with the car when I bought it three years ago. Does anybody know if the 19s will fit the new RRS being released shortly? If so, I'll get the 20s on the new car and and keep the old 19s as spare for off-road. Greg Milner

The 2014/15 "new range rover" wheels and tyres are totally different to the outgoing.

Im not sure on calliper sizes (although they looked different and possibly bigger) but the wheel profiles are all different.

I bet you will have to sell Mike

Great thanks for that, I'll quiz the dealers on it when they get here. Greg Milner

Yeah Mike, I get that the wheels look different on the new model...but does that necessarily mean the 'old' wheels won't fit on the new model's hubs? You can certainly order 19 inch wheels with the new model, so I would guess LR wouldn't bother going to the expense of changing offsets etc just for the sake of cosmetically different wheels...would they???

If LR see a chance to make money selling new wheels they will definitely not fit

I believe they did this on FL1-FL2 and D2-D3 for starters Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I wasnt talking about the PCB or whatever its called - ie the layout of the bolts (although that might change they have done it before - D1-D2-D3 F1 -F2 RR etc)

I was talking about the clearance for the brake calliper looks different (eg the calliper is bigger)...just because you have a 21" wheel isnt the only factor AND the actual tyre profiles have changed - meaning you wouldnt be using the correct profile...let alone speed rating! Mike
