Range Rover tire and wheel fitment (FFRR)

[penguincoder]

I have been curious about this for quite some time, now. How do you get any 20-inch all terrain tire onto a Range Rover with the least amount of modifications. I just found a thread on the Range Rover forum about just such a topic.

The general consensus is actually promising. With 265/50-R20 there are not many choices (just one), but the spare fits in the well fully inflated. There are few, if any, fitment or rubbing issues. 275/55-R20 offers many choices of tires, but the spare does not fit fully inflated and you will most likely need a spacer to increase your offset or you could run Range Rover Sport rims which have a +6MM offset over stock FFRR. There are also minor fitment issues with the bulge around the fuel filler that can be resolved with a heat gun.

I plan on running highway tires on mine until I spend more time off road than on road. These things are so capable that with careful driving, you can use normal tires for almost everything and not sacrifice on road comfort.

I have 20" wheels from a FFRR on my LR3 and I'm running Nitto Terra Grapplers. They are great all around tires.

On my 2007 SC and 2010 SC, I ran the Cooper LTZ in 275/55R20. On my 2012 AB, I switched to 265/50R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s as it won't be seeing rough offroad duty. After 2k miles and some snow, I really like the Nittos. Not enough sidewall in this size for anything serious, but good performance onroad, in the snow, and on some minor dirt/gravel roads that it's been on so far. And the spare fits.
