22" Alloys on SDV8 HSE Dynamic...what to do?

Thanks for all the information everyone.....I dind't think anyone answered & didn't check back & now I feel a little silly!

Anyways, I've not pulled the trigger as yet but will have to shortly as the June long weekend is fast approaching.

After much research, I think I'm set on x5 ROH Blades as they have the correct offset (47), load rating (975 Kgs) & look pretty darn good in the picture which is pretty much my RRS.

ROH Wheels – Blade

What I'm now deciding is what tyres to shod them with & tossing up whether I sell the farm & buy Pirelli Verde all season Ecoimpact 255/55R20 $324 ea., Cooper AT4S (275/55R20) $446 ea. or Cooper SRX (255/55R20) $376 ea.

I'm leaning towards the Cooper SRX as they seem to have better off road capabilities without to many negatives like excessive road noise BUT....I've also found some much cheaper options & would like to know if anyone has had any experience with tryes from Accelera (Omikron AT 265/50R20 111s at $176 ea.) or Sailun Terramax AT XL 265/55R20 $189ea. or Hankook Dynapro HP2 RA33 265/50R20 for $276 ea?

255/55 is the recommended size but I've been told that I can fit 255/265/275 or even 285 50 or 55's?

What is the best choice for 90% on road, 10% gravel roads & sand?

Cheers all
Matt

Also Radar Renegade AT/5's? anyone used these on their RRS?

Hey Matt,
I had Cooper SRX's on my Grand Cherokee.
Awesome on road tyre and really quiet.

Sold it when the tyres had done 80,000 Klm's.
Probably would have got close to 100,000 out of them.
My brother runs them on his Prado and loves them.

Cheers, Craig

I wouldn’t even consider 265 50 20. To get maximum sidewall 275 55 20 or 285 50 20.

I’d also be hesitant to run the cheaper unknown Chinese tyres.

Cooper tyres are polarising, I’ve heard some good stories on their full off road tyres but lots of bad stories on anything else. My experience with Coopers wasn’t good.

I have Pirelli Verde 255 55 20 on my car but only because the wheels came with them. I’m very happy with their performance but suspect they would be easily damaged in a rocky off road environment.

Maybe look at the Radar tyres from Bob Jane’s the new off road versions look pretty good and although they are unknown I think having Bob Jane selling them gives me some confidence that they are half decent

I have been running Coopers at least 20 years with no hassles whatsoever.

I have Cooper MT's on my off road beast, had SRX's on my Grand Cherokee (just sold) and AT's and AT3's on several other vehicles.

I can only highly recommend them.

Cheers, Craig

Thanks for the heads up guys....was thinking that a 50 profile in 255-275 wasn't enough in term of sidewall protection, especially if letting them down to anything approaching 20 psi. So that narrows it down to 255/265/275 or 285/55R20's.

What's the pro's & cons 255 Vs 285...does the extra width give you anymore stability or is the 255 size a better "all terrain" size?

The Cooper SRX's are tempting & I will chase up the Radar Renegades but they do look to be a more agressive tread pattern so I'm thinking much more road noise?

Keep the advice coming.

Cheers
Matt

Would an offset of 35 be ok or would the rims be too close to the Brembo calipers?

Likie the look of the CSA Raptor & to a lesser extent the Stealth but both are at an offset of positive 35?

I recently sold my Disco & purchased a RRS SDV8 HSE Dynamic with 22" alloys & I'm struggling to know what to do with as my current tyres "Continental Cross Contact LX Sport" M+S 275/40R22 will not get me up to the Flinders Rangers & back....I've been reliably told by more than one or 2 people.

As I'm sure you all know, the choice of "all terrain" tyres on 22" alloys with good highway driving is limited. I don't fancy driving up & down the freeway in Adelaide on mud pluggers everyday!

So...I either find a 22" compromise or look at some 20" alloys like this link on Ebay from a guy in Melbourne who may swap my 22" with his 20"

GENUINE 20" LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VOGUE Wheels COOPER TYRES 275 45 20 | eBay

My concern is that I don't even know if they will fit on my RRS....with the big red brembo break calipers & they're actually listed as RR Vogue alloys? The tyre plate does suggest I can fit 20" alloys??

I do like the Scorpion ATR's as they served me well on my Disco & are available in the 20" size (275/55R20) but the RR is a different beast & I'm not sure it has the clearance for 55's?

Any suggestions?

Cheers
Matt

Fit mine

Well I've bitten the bullet & bought ROH 20" Blades (8.5 with an offset of 45) with Nitto Terra Grappler 265/50's.

Would have preferred 55 profile but really restricted my choices & at 275 wouldn't have fit without some rubbing at the front of the fronts..

Will send pictures when all done.

Cheers
Matt

PS - Anyone or know of anyone after x5 22" alloys with 275/40R22 Continentals?

Looking forward to seeing some pics.

Hey Matt, what do you think of the Rangie compared to the Disco?

Cheers, Craig
