2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Santorini Black

The original wheels, they look small but the car is on the high suspension setting because I was cleaning the wheel arches.

The 2013 wheels, bought because I needed new tyres, did consider putting them on the other wheels but I liked these.

They are 55 profile rather than 50 and the boot floor does not quite close due to the slightly fatter tyre.

2006 Range Rover Vogue Td6 Zermatt Silver

I'm confused - how can a 20" wheel fill the arches better when the tyres are taller on 19" to give the same rolling diameter?

the 20'' wheel rim is bigger giving the impression of the arches being filled out more.. ... - .- -.

Re: 19's or new shape 20's

20"... they look a wee tad more subtly up to date with the rest of the car

That is because the L405 20' wheels comes with large tyres, so by definition they do not have the same wheel diameter. l=Oo\________/oO=l l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l

Any downside to them Ian? Or are you completely happy?

So the gearing/speedo would be wrong?

The only downside is the boot floor does not go down fully.

Any 2010+ 20" as 19" (good as they are) just do not work with a 2012 facelift due to the bulkier front end ....

However, I really don't like that particular style or 20" wheel.

2006 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Bonatti Grey

Definitely 20 inch but not those ones Craig.

I would sell both sets and buy a set of the later OEM L322 wheels, they really do suit the car better. See my before and after post http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic18607.html
