    Thanks everyone

    I may have sourced some used LR 20" rims, I'll make sure I check the offset. The door plate has +39 and +47 offsets for a 20" rim, so I'm guessing as long as the used ones are either of these I'm ok.

    On these rims Tyrepower have said that a Mickey Thomson AT38 will work (the Grabber AT3 is out of stock in Perth!), but this is a 285/50 R20 rather than the 255/60 r19 I have now. Has anyone used tried a 285mm on a D5? There is a 285/40 r22 option on the door plate so I'm guessing it works ok for clearances etc?

    I'm driving over to NSW from WA next week which is why you may be getting a sense of urgency vibe.....

    If you're changing to 20" then why not fit 275/55R20 which is within the allowable oversize limit and there are quite a few tyre options in this size. People have reported that this size fits in the spare wheel well too.

    Thanks Graeme

    I was thinking that the 285/50R20 only gives a 5mm increase in total diameter whereas the 275/55R20 is a 23mm increase....

    So the 20" rims I found turned out to be 8.5 x 20 ET58 which I can't even work out where they might of come from with that offset. Maybe a mid-2000's RR?

    So I'm back to square one

    If anyone's interested in the end I bought a set of Tuffant 18"alloys and fitted them with Falken Wildpeak A/T 265/65 r18s. At full lock it's a close fit with the front wheel arch but still about 10mm clearance.

    The D5 has a significantly different offset - so much so that the Compomotive Group has had to make a new wheel offset otherwise the allows hit the control arms under articulation.

    What offset are Tuffant and are they making a different offset to accomodate the D5?

    Tuffant have 2 styles of 8 inch x 18 inch alloy rims for D5. They are E27 and E39 offsets. They recommend 265/65/R18 tyres.

    In case anyone is looking for 19" AT tyres, Tempe Tyres in Sydney have the GG AT3 in 255/60R19 LI 113 back in stock. I have these on my L322, replacing Pirelli AT+ 275/55R20 also LI113. The GGs give a harsher ride so the tread and/or the sidewalls must be stiffer.
