United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Siberian Silver
20 inch rims.

Anybody on here fitted 265 / 50 / 20' tyres on their 20' wheels.
I'm aware the size should be 275/40/20 but would like to increase the height of the tyre because the vehicle for numorous reasons needs a little more ground clearance whilst normal suspension height selected.
What are my tyre options without resorting to wheel changes.?

Just curious but more height in normal suspension setting, for more ground clearance? For what reasons? 2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

That will just give it a higher centre of gravity for normal driving Thumbs Up

You can get the same result with the OBD Tool if it’s higher ride height you need. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Not exactly what you asked, but I'm running on 255/55R20, very comfortable ride. Thumbs Up --

274/45/20 is not an unusual choice. That will give you a little over an inch bigger diameter. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Not sure what you need the extra 20mm radius for, but if you need more clearance then get an IID Tool and raise the suspension to your liking, +15/20mm up to you.

If it's better off road traction and a softer ride, taking into account the higher center of gravity then you can go a number of different routes.

I've ran 275/45R20s, 285/50R20s and currently run 275/55R20s all are no issue except the current 275/55R20 Mastercraft AXT which required I raise the suspension a further 15mm to avoid any rubbing issues.

The increased CoG doesn't bother me, even though the word "Sport" is in the Range's name it's not designed to be a sports car and therefore don't drive it as such....

Hope that helps a little, but, without knowing the reasons behind the need for the increased ground clearance difficult to give more detailed advise.

Cheers
