wheel size options

**philmoon** · 26th March 2013, 05:03 PM

2005 - 2012 range rover sport wheels and tyres. 19 inch factory rims in unmarked new condition. .

Tyres are Goodyear Eagles F1 255x55x19. 2 (ebay advert cut and pasted )

I've got 18" on my '05 TD6. Very happy with then.

Standard is 18" rims with 255/60-18 tyres
Option 19" rims with 255/55-19 or 20" rims with 255/50-20

Is wizzard wrong about the profile as they are the same as the range rover sport profiles for sale ??? Im so confused ... I dont want to buy wheels that dont fit but I work away so have to grab a bargain when i can

Agreed - very nice set of rims - would look good on the L322.

thanks 33chinacars I will buy them then

**harlie** · 27th March 2013, 07:44 AM

Yeah grab them, if they have 255/55 19 on them they aren't the standard size for the RRS - they had 255/50 19.

As Gary confirmed 255/55 are the standard for L322, also standard for D3/4. 255/50 are considerabley more expensive as they are not as commonly used, so it makes sence that RRS owners may fit the larger tyre when replacing originals. Sorry, I didn't fully read the ebay add.

Good find.

That was confusing me. I was pretty sure that the RRS had a smaller wheel diameter than the D3/4

You will probable find that the RRS 19" wheels are 9" wide with a 53mm offset. Where as the L322 19" wheels are 8" wide with 57mm offset . But that can depend on tghe year also. And as already said different wheel nuts.

Good thread philmoon. I too, am interested in moving from a P38 to an L322 one day, and am interested in these options. I predict the biggest detractor for me will be the availability of good off road rubber (without scrubbing etc). My P38 has 18" rims for on road, with standard 29" diameter, and 16" rims for off road with 32" diameter - that means a lot of extra sidewall rubber. My brothers L322 with 19" ATs just dont give enough sidewall to work with (IMO).

My P38 will not be sold when I do upgrade, but moved to my son, who will be then be turning of age. Seems like a great safe car for him

Hi Glen for offroad tyres I would stay with the 18" rims . Not perfect but better that 19" or 20" rims. Although the L322 G4 did have 19" rims on it. Lot more choices in 18" rims & you can go up to a 265/60-18 without any trouble.
