    Like I said, offset does my head in but this link explains how it works, going from 47 offset to 35 moves the face of the wheel towards the centre of the car pushing the rim out

    My brain hurts.

    Geez I’m glad you blokes are all over this as it’s doing my head in as well Tote mate.
    I need new rims to replace my 21s for my 2022 D350 HSE when we start touring with the caravan, and if I can’t find 6 decent factory 20 inch rims (in Tassie!) I need aftermarket, so this post is the way to go.
    Eagerly awaiting Pedros’ solution so I can follow blindly!
    Thanks in advance for your informed advice everyone!

    I think i decided to just run on the 21's, all 4 tyres were brand spankers when the car was delivered to me... seems a bit silly to just throw them away.
    I cant say I've hated towing the van on 21's, though I suppose this will change down the first dirt road..

    as for aftermarket,, offset and load rating will beat your brain into submission...


    these are real close to being the ones,, the bright outer surface on a black wheel would look really smart on a dark RRS

    The 20s are about, but not as cheap as I would like them to be, I think I paid about $1400 for four with 40% tread on the tyres. there are a couple of places in Sydney and Melbourne who do them commercially and advertise on Gumtree and EBay. Here's a set at about the usual asking price FOUR GENUINE FACTORY 20 Range Rover Sport wheels and tyres | Wheels, Tyres & Rims | Gumtree Australia Monash Area - Wheelers Hill | 1279567651

    They do freight so that may be a help

    And like everything else for sale there are some on Facebook as well which is where everything for sale privately seems to have migrated to....

    My problem is--- ---- I now have no room to stash the 21's, I literally have to trade-in the 21's when fitting the 20's

    If you cant store rims why not go to a dealer and see if you can swap for 20's

    They will be getting better end of deal so may be keen.

    Just bit the bullet via eBay!

    I just purchased 4 new genuine RRS 20 inch black rims in the pattern we wanted for $1800, which I know is top dollar, especially as I still need to source another two, but at least I have them and they will fit my particular vehicle with the big brakes.

    We will carry the 6th rim/tyre assembly on the back of the 20.6 ZoneRV Off Road caravan beside its spare and will have the carrier modded to fit the rim accordingly by ZoneRV. I’ll actually email them after this.

    Thanks for all the advice re this fellas. Now to look at a decent touring/all terrain rubber, I suppose BFG AT will be the usual fit.

    Any suggestions?

    Ahh, now you've asked a curly one. My list so far is the Falken Wild peak, Nitto terra grapplers, and Im also interested in the Cooper Zeons, all in 275/55/20.

    I'm not sure about the BFGs although they are a good tyre.

    Me neither, after having a set in this size on my MY12 L322. They were noisy from the outset prompting me to fit sound-absorbing mat to every flat panel that I could get to behind the guard liners, under the floor and inside the spare wheel well then the 2 on the rear split around the top of the sidewalls into the tread, although that could have been due to a bad batch of compound.
