Uhhh not sure what your getting at but the 56 is my "Buckingham Blue" RR, and yes its a 2007 TDV8 Vogue with Supercharged Grille & Vents. The Bog Standard 7-Spoke as you call them were replaced by me with the 2010 Style8 19" Alloys in the picture above. |

But is your Buckingham Blue an Original SC or a Vogue with SC grills and vents, as the bog standard 7 spoke alloys are not SC wheels,

See post above! I said "The 56 is my "Buckingham Blue" RR, and yes its a 2007 TDV8 Vogue with Supercharged Grille & Vents". Used the word S/C only in relation to the original wheels which I though were also standard on the older S/C's but I was wrong about that. My Car is a TDV8 Vogue with the grilles from a S/C. |

Yep, those 20" alloys are just standard Vogue SE wheels and not from a SC, the SC wheels were the ones Mick originally had on his car before he became a wheel trader!

They claim they did try that and that no 19" rims, whether new style or old, will fit over the 2010+ S/C brakes, the calipers get in the way. He is not convinced... And neither am I. On the 2010+ Range Rover Sport S/C (which also comes with humongous Brembo brakes in front) you can indeed fit the standard 19" wheel from "lesser" non-S/C trims, so is strikes me as odd that you cannot do the same on the FFRR.

I have standard 19" 2011my wheels, the 201Y car has the Brembos as standard across the range. My guess would be then that 19" wheels do indeed fit over the brembo brakes. Unless anyone knows better? |

Not here in North America, only the Supercharged has front 6-piston Brembos (rebadged with the Range Rover logo, but Brembos nevertheless), less powerful trims have smaller brakes all around. We don't get diesels here in North America though, only NA and SC 5-liter petrol engines. Umberto B |

Hi umbertob - I know the type of brake calipers you mean - They were on the latest 2011my 4.4 TDV8 I test drove recently - they are huge and very impressive - very nearly twice the size of the brembo calipers I have fitted to my 2007my TDV8.

The new 4.4 TDV8 in standard Vogue spec comes with 19" rims. |

I don't doubt you Fox You would need to check with James / Jez at LookersParkRoyal - maybe the brakes on their demo vehicle where part of an upgrade package??? - afterall, their demo 4.4 TDV8 had every other extra fitted IIRC. Like I said - I wouldn't know for sure but would be very surprised if you could fit 19" wheels on a RR with these latest style, larger calipers. Last edited by delamo on 25th Nov 2010 11:00am.
