Obviously a personal taste thing, but to me it just looks like someone put the wrong wheels on it

I'd like to fit 19's as well. I'm looking at fitting the new General Grabber AT's.

FFRR 19'' are only 8j and dont look right whereas the RRS ones are 9j and fill out the wheels arches better

You mean throw more crap up the sides of the vehicle?

It's an off road vehicle, the wheels are underneath for a reason.

Ditto, not to my taste, but I appreciate others may like them. Researching my first Range Rover purchase

There must be many reasons why LR did / does not fit 9J's on the FFRR.

IMO best stick to what they should have.

Insurance issues could also be a problem.

All of the above plus...............

No mention of the RRS wheels being the wrong offset or what that does to geometry and handling.

Bearings wear out quicker and it destroys the magic carpet ride which the FFRR is known for.

Range Rover Sport wheels are for the RRS, Not the FFRR. They ARE different vehicles with different steering geometry.

the only difference between the FFRR offset and the RRS offset is 4mm, thats not enough to put the FFRR steering geometry out or affect the wheel bearings
...and if you think how robust the FFRR running gear is [because its made to go off-road], the handling will not be affected... if the FFRR can take 22'' with no problems i'm sure it will take RRS wheels.

i've been running 20'', 9.5j RRS wheels for 8/9 months now, even travelling abroad doing constant 80 mph speeds for hours with absolutely no problems...
