    I was told that the only legal alternatives are those that match the profile and load and speed ratings shown on the plaque on the door jam - the one that also has tyre pressures. Other tyres have not been homologated by the vehicle manufacturer.

    Our ADRs don't require tyres to be homologated by the vehicle manufacturer.

    Correct. Rules in AU don’t require tyres to match *all* requirements on the placard.

    They must match load rating and meet a base speed rating of N as this exceeds all Aus speed limits.
    Size falls under NCOP / ADRs applicable in state, and there are rules regarding width and diameter.

    Note lower speed rating tyres often demonstrate lower cornering capability.

    Also, historically, LRA has used alternative tyres as a reason to question warranty around suspension, vibration, steering etc. (I’m not debating, just quoting).

    Help needed

    Hi guys, I’m in a similar situation, have a D5 with 285/40/22 offset of 45 and I want to purchase a second set of rims and tyres. Looking at a Range Rover sport 2014 set of rims 20x8.5 with offset of 47. Trying to get an answer out of LR is impossible so are waiting on a response from the UK as to whether these rims will work.
    Anyone have any ideas around a second set of rims to fit a D5 legally
    Cheers

    Rim match

    Hey toombie, thanks for your reply, I have read your post and agree looks like they’ll fit as the specs on the RRover 2014 rims match the OEM 20” D5 rims on paper. Getting a nod out of LRover Australia is another thing, so your thoughts are that the Range Rover rims would work on my D5?

    Yes, I see no reason they won’t. And the D5 being lighter than a D4 they meet the load rating requirements also so should be all above board.

    Don’t expect the Company to condone any changes to vehicle; none of the other brands will condone changes either.
