Australia 2005 Range Rover HSE 4.4 V8 Java Black

I have recently fitted Nitto Terra Grappler G2's on my L322 275 55 20.. They equate to a touch under 32". I have to trim up the drivers side rear wheel well tub where the fuel filler goes down and have a look at the spot welded seam at the top of the wheel arch. Other than that they fit and look awesome. Big difference to the standard 265 50 20 roadies.

Thanx Matt Once you've driven a Range Rover, everything else seems 2nd rate.. Eeeek I'm trapped for life.

2001 P38 HSE. Ardeness Green.
1995 RRC soft dash (beautiful car) Green.
2005 L322 HSE V8. - Current, most awesome car yet. And most expensive.

Do you have to tell your insurer if you're changing from 255/50 to 255/55 ?? 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

OK, the Grabber AT3 in 255/55R20 WILL fit in the wheel well, but only just! When the tyre fitter put it in, the floor was proud by half an inch and seemed to be obstructed by the sidewall, so I got him to deflate it which helped slightly. Anyway, once home I rattled the wheel around a bit and it settled in perfectly with the floor fitting flush. There looks to be enough clearance to allow at least 2.0 bar, but I’ll confirm in a day or two.

Did you get the 55 to fit ok in the wheel well with a bit more air than 2 bar? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

255/55/20. As mentioned before the spare is a tad snug, had to deflate to about 18psi to get it in.

Australia 2012 Range Rover Autobiography TDV8 Bournville

I have 255/60R19 GG AT3 on D4 rims ready to go on when my current tyres wear down enough. They have a little more sidewall height and a higher load rating than 255/55R20 GG AT3 yet have the same OD. They fit in the spare wheel well at full pressure although mine's left side plastic has been trimmed to fit 275/55R20.

Does the floor still sit flat on top? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

Yes the floor will sit flat. Bit of a wrestle to get the wheel in though.

you dont have to struggle with a 55 in the spare.....use a space saver wheel or one of the original 50 profiles as a spare.... ... - .- -.
