Wheel Size L322 4.4 TDV8 -2010 onwards

Can anyone tell me if this model will fit 19" RR Wheels,or better still will the 18" GOE compo's fit. I am thinking of upgrading from my 02, but hate the thought of 50 profile tyres for the type of travelling I do.
thanks in advance,
Peter G

I don't think any 18"s will fit !, but some 19"s will fit (LR Style 15) from 2011 Models.

19's - absolutely; many were sold (non Luxury models, which miss out on a few things like the RES and twin view screen) with 19 and not 20 inch rims.

The 18's will fit pre 2010 models only as the 4.4 got the bigger (again) Supercharged brakes and regrettably only 19's fit over the calipers

I'm going to fit Cooper Zeon LTZ with 275 55 r20 which just fit based on the fullfat range rover site in the UK

I don't mean to sound like a broken record BUT...

2002-2005/06 L322 wheels are different and require different wheel nuts. The wheel from a 2002 will fit a 2010, but you will need the wheel nuts for the 02 wheels – you cannot use the wheel nuts that are on the 2010 wheels to secure 2002 wheels.

Thanks for all the info, everything I have looked at seems to have 20,s hence the question. I dont have 19,s on my 02 (265/65/18,s), so would have to source some 19,s if I proceed. There seem to be a few about so no problem there.
Wheel nuts (actually they are studs - sorry about that), not a problem Harlie, as I have a spare set.
I must say I dont understand why every time HP or KW are increased the brakes have to get larger. Surely the braking power required is a function of (max) speed and gross vehicle mass. What am I missing ?

Hey Chris, I didn't know you could get those LTZ Coopers in 275 55 r20 - as you know, I just picked up some 275/45/20 tyres because a local tyre shop told me the 275 55 r20 would be too big to fit without rubbing.

Wish I'd checked this out more thoroughly - those 275/45/20 tyres of mine look pretty skinny in the sidewall department. No more fat than the standard Continental 255/50/20.

Well, I haven't actually seen them on a car TBH Greg - I'm basing it on a thread on the UK forum I only came across last week:

fullfatrr.com - View topic - FS: 275/55x20 Cooper LTZs on 7 spoke 20"alloys (http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic14523.html)

You can see he had to "modify" things a litte to fit.

cheers

Yeah I remember seeing that post, or at least one similar. I'm not really keen on making backyard modifications of any kind on my car, but I wonder if you can buy 275/50/20 that would fit without mods?

Anything for a bit more sidewall.

I have just had occasion to remove a wheel (hadnt done this for quite a while) and discovered that these are really nuts. Humble apologies to all for my comment in post above.
