Set of winter tyres

I have a 2007 RRSP tdv8 with bembo brakes. Last winter the low profile tyres were useless in the snow. Can I fit 19in Range Rover alloys with winter tyres. I believe 18in alloys won't fit due to the Bembo brakes.

Be careful, some of the OE LR 19's don't fit either... Try before you buy!

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

The wheel to look for is the original HSE 19" 5 Vee Spoke Part No RRC502280MNH. If buying from eBay be especially careful that they are not copies - the weight rating of the wheels is really important for the heavy RRS - look for the LR logo cast into back of the alloy wheel for genuine wheels 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I have a set of good19" OE wheels with like brand new 255/50/19 Wintrac 4Xtremes which have done less than 1100 miles....you can still see the pimples on them!!!!... These wheels and tyres came off my MY10 RRS TDV8 which was subsequently sold for a new FFRR and are therefore no use to me anymore..

I seem to remeber that you'll need the 19inch 9.5J wheels to fit over the Brembos, like the style Wackyjim has.

I seem to think that some 2010 models came with the Multi spoke 19inch but these were only 9J.

Hope someone on the forum can be more informative.

You have another option. I agree the 19" originals are better and later model 19" dont fit (how crazy was that LR)

Have you thought of contacting AJS and getting a set of 20" General AT2,s

No need for extra set of wheels and ride is EXCELLENT

SDV8 vogue SE.
Corris grey and ivory leather + most of the toys.

You are better with 19's incase you slide into a kerb + it does'nt do tyres much good taking them on & off rims. Gone,,TDV8 arctic frost,black leather,colour coded handles,rear entertainment,sunroof.
