2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Bonatti Grey

I suspect LR would void the warranty if you ever got any suspension or steering problems though. Matt

19" v 20"

I have a RRS Super charged and I need to know if I can fit the 19" wheels on it, reason is that you can not get mud tyres for the 20" rims (unless anyone knows different).

2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Rob which wheels did you buy the supercharged standard or the stormers? Also may I ask the price you paid, I am going to be selling my standard supercharged wheels and was wondering around what I can get for them.

Wheels are standard not the stormer style, I may be looking for a set of 19" as well to use when I go and play in the mud. Problem is that my local dealer say's that the 19" wheels do not leave enough clearence for the brakes but then they had also never heard of some one asking about moving down a size on the wheels. A way round this would be to find a 20" mud tyre.

The standard 20" paid 1200 sterling for them (delivered) with the tires, centre caps, nuts & lock nut socket. Watched on e-bay for a while and they seemed to be going for around 1600-1800 sterling so felt I got a decent deal. HSE TD6 (Java Black/Ivory)

Possible as the supercharger has the Brembo's as standard which are probably larger. If you take the Brembo's on the diesel or petrol you take 20" wheels as well, however I find it hard to believe that even the larger discs & calipers wouldn't fit in 19" rims. You don't get much bigger discs & calipers than on my GT3 and these fit in 18" rims. HSE TD6 (Java Black/Ivory)

2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Stornoway Grey

When my car had its full four wheel alignment done the week after delivery they had to swap the 20 inch wheels for 19s as the alignment machine they have is not big enough for the 20's. So, they DO go on the car, I saw it.

Have to say though it was not driven in this manner.

BUT, JC on Top Gear did exactly this in his filim against the Challenger Tank and I beleive Tim in Scotland has posted saying that the Land Rover Experience have swapped the Supercharged wheels for 19's also. L319 D4 HSE

RRUK,

Thanks for this, I am at a Landrover Experience site in the morning so I will ask them and see what they use.

Thanks again.
