What's with all the negativity from some people, if you have nothing positive to say don't say anything at all.

Fit the 22's but if you take it in for any repairs just swap back to standard wheels its not rocket science

Warranty is a guarantee given by a person/company.
Warrantee is the person to whom the warranty is given.

LR give a warranty to you, the warrantee.

It's really not difficult.

BKHK is quite correct. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hi all
Just to clear a few things up,I did some homework,got in touch with land rover,,Kahn and
This is what I have come up with,,basically depends where you take your RRS land rover
Sell sports with 22inch alloys as they know they look good,most land rover dealerships will
Cover warranty just some are jobs worth,there is a dealership right next to Kahn who do a lot of business with them for 22inch alloys ,so to make a long story short depends where you take it for your service ,has opened my eyes,,but am now
Going for 22inch alloys after what I have found out

Thank you to all
Cheers

I had 22's on my sport and never had an issue with warrentee, it is selective. Having said that my Fullfat had its claim turned down at a different dealer for gearbox issue and in the end I paid for pump, filter and oil and changed these myself, resolving the issue.
If you buy an Overfinch from a dealer, they don't dispute the cover, and Overfinch confirm that they do not modify anything. There was a very pretty Overfinch sat on local LR dealers forecourt with all the bumph on screen that included 12 months extended warrantee
If you want to be sure, keep your original wheels and fit them if car is going to workshop. I really didn't notice any change in ride on either car but will shortly re-fit original 19's with M&S tyres for the winter as the huge 22" tyres will be useless in snow

Not true
I have 22s on and they were great in the snow last year no problem at all

I have Overfinch Tiger 22s on our RRS and i think the ride is quite harsh on the roads of wildest Oldham.
However i have to say they coped quite admirably in the snow of last year.
I'm definately giving a lot of thought to Swapping them for some 20s or 19s instead.

Iv been using 22" since I got my sport and can honestly say the ride isn't bad at all, think they look better aswell. Depends what the car is used for and what look you prefer.

HI,

Did you had to modify your wheel nuts to fit your 22''? I've got 22'' on my RRS and apparently when I got the car, seems like the egde of the wheel nuts was cut off to make it shorter and flat in order to fit the 22' rims

22" look great!! Cannot go wrong with them. Just watch out for pot holes as due the weight of the car there is a possibility of the rims cracking - (you can get them welded for about £30 if the worst happens!) Range Rover Sport HSR

You can, of course fit whatever you like to your car - that's just a matter of opinion on its looks.

There are of course risks to warranty etc and you can't argue with physics and engineering. A tyre provides some damping and cushioning from the road surface. Although the suspension damping setting can, to a degree, be changed to compensate for thinner (low profile) tyres it is inevitable that more vibrations and shocks will be transmitted to the car's suspension.

This will increase the wear.

I'd say fitting 22's would cause less wear on suspension components than taking the car off road.

But taking the car off road with 22's and your really going to wear things out

I personally think 22's fill the wheel arches nice
