Always liked the 20s mate but lack of sidewall put a stop to that! Its either that or a nice set of 18" Compomotives!!  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Have you tried AJS Tyres as he is just off the 25 somewhere south & he is a main 4x4 tyre specialist down that area,,I'm sure he's a member on here.

Oh yeah i forgot about Andy at AJS have used him before so i will give them a ring tomorrow

My main concern is will they go on ok? I guess they would as people have 21s on ok which must be around the same rolling radius 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

255/55 x 20 has rolling diam. of around 247cm. I'm running 275/45 x 21 tyres on a RRS1 which have rolling diam. of around 245cm. and have been for about 2years and have had no issues with clearance etc. does make speedo read a little slow but I believe Patrick at GAP is working on the IID tool to allow tyre/wheel size to be re-programmed.

Cheers
Col

Thats great info Col as always and super if that can be done on the iid tool in the future. Hope NZ is treating you well?  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Glad to be of some help, absolutely loving it down here don't think there will be any chance of coming back to the UK except for a holiday. Have to be a bit restrained though as max speed limit is only 100kph so the S/C's a bit OTT but with the standard of driving here it's probably just as well.

Cheers
Col

I love NZ and would live there if SWMBO would. Done a couple of month-long trips and it's just a great place.

Chris, 255/55/20 is an inch larger diameter than your 255/55/19 Duratracs. Should be ok but not sure you could go any bigger without possible rubbing at full lock. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
