Fullfats on 285/50/20 tyres

Evening gentlemen
Just popped up from downstairs (Disco4.com)
Do Fullfats run on 285/50/20 Tyres?
It's just that I have a set of 4 Cooper LTZs in 285/50/20 (8mm tread) that I'm moving out, so just wanted to check before posting on here.
Many thanks Thumbs Up Suicide Hill here I come!

those tyres are 30mm larger in diameter to the standard 255 50 20 FF tyres so although they will fit they are not recommended..

Thank you Stan, yes I am aware they are of a larger diameter than standard (as they are on the Disco & Fl2).
However in high mileage experiences related to both vehicles (over many years) this has not been detrimental.

My post was only sounding out the use of this size of tyre on the FFRR, absolutely no harm in doing that is there?
I would not dream of putting up a FS ad on other sister forums without Martins blessing.
Good day. Suicide Hill here I come!

2015 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Aruba

Ron,

They fit with 2 conditions iirc...

The alloy needs to have an offset of 53 or lower to clear the front struts... Which means 2010 or onwards genuine alloys or something non genuine. Pryor to that the standard offset is 57 or 58...which would need spacers on the front.

The rear right wheel arch needs a slight mod to push the fuel filter bulge out of the way to clear the tyre... Easy done with heat gun to soften the plastic.

So yes they fit. The gearing isn't too bad. Its a good look, but I can't run the Ltz as it's not rated for the speed of the supercharged. V8 or else ...
