Personally, on any vehicle, especially heavy ones the only direction I would point you is away from spacers. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6 |

20mm is not practical for spacers UNLESS you change the wheel studs in the hubs for 20mm longer ones - so that the spacer is truly a spacer, trapped between the wheel & hub & maintaining good thread engagement between the wheel nut & stud.

Thanks for explaining Pawl, very helpful. I am definitely looking at hub centric spacers which is what you're describing so what you're saying does make sense though for previous cars I've fitted 20-25mm spacers. I suppose if it's not a common demand from RR owners, manufacturers wouldn't make them which may be why all I can find are 30mm.

I’m not sure what the guys with the Range Racer have done.

they're not OE wheels so they must have a different offset . ... - .- -.

the range racer lads are engineers with JLR, there's a full thread over on pistonheads, worthy of a search there. |

I am following them on FB but the PH thread is a good read so far.

I’d never fit spacers to such a heavy vehicle. In my opinion the potential cons far outweigh the pros (slight visual improvement).
