As for the wheels, I think they possibly are 22 inch alloys by the look of it.

I doubt LR would offer 22 -also these wheels were only available in 20inch, but one never knows.

The low profile tyre suggest Evoque or RRS wheels overall size, not L322.

and the l405 is meant to be a derivative of it.

yes that is my point, and this is why I question the fact this is indeed a L322 replacement. I would see this drive train on a Grand Evoque or on a RRS replacement vehicle.

Then again, LR has been full of surprise lately...

I'll see if I can find a pic of an old alloy beside the mules and compare. V8 or else ...

they are 22's i reckon:

Overlayed wheel is a supercharged autobiography 20" alloy ... the images matchup almost perfectly in terms of bolt pattern ... which assuming its the same PCD, makes the L405's alloy a 22"

In the past I would have agreed, however, the evoque is now sold with 20" alloys and a /45 ratio tyre ... apply that to the bigger RR and the above pics could indicate 22" with a lower /45 profile . It may not be as bad as first thought if the car can run variable damping which could potentially counter the lower profile harshness. V8 or else ...

Could you try this with an (smaller) EVOQUE patern and this may end up appearing as being a 20 inch Evoque wheel with Evoque/FL2 patern.

I have been told today 100% that the new FF has 22" rims as standard plus many many RRE bits. From the waist up its identical to the one we know & love. If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

Its not as good as the first, and considering there is only 6mm difference in the PCD between the L322 and the Evoque/Freelander - its never going to be conclusive ... but it does look a smaller PCD on the evoque:

V8 or else ...

With 22's the brakes are starting to look rather weedy.

On the plus side there should be more space for some proper ATs. *Gone* Discovery3 HSE

thanks for the info lads!

And I though 19 were rubish on the TDV8... We blew a tyre on Lake District rocky lane, had to special order the 19 inch Pirelli...

Now, I'd like to see a 22 inch fitted L405 (most likely with a spacesaver spare) in the tracks we took the L322..

I see the rear lights also have the winglet at the top too, not sure about that personally. Rr has always had a squarish rear light V8 or else ...

Could be a trick of the photograph/camoflague, but looks like the tailgate split is below the number plate... thus the fold down piece is very small - like an X5!?

I noticed the tailgate split too. Much better for loading, and you still have the flap to sit on (now beneath a slightly bigger umbrella )
