305 Mud tyres on my Supercharged

Wanted something a bit different for my Supercharged L322, which started life like this:

Here's where I've ended up in terms of wheels / tyres (probably not the usual setup).... 305/50r20s on RRS alloys

All opinions welcome.

2013 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Santorini Black

I like that

Not sure it's exactly what Overfinch had in mind for their kit, but IMHO it works

Nice Instagram pics BTW

The ride is not too bad at all, but they do hum a little at speed. That said we have low speed limits here, and no motorways as such. Fuel consumption has none down negligibly - from 12.4mpg on the previous 295/40r22 Continentals to 12mpg.

There's now a 2cm diagnostic lift, and 5mm spacers, plus I had to reform a couple of areas on the inner wheel arches on the drivers side to avoid rubbing. The tyres are just over 32 inches tall.

Thanks! I appreciate that the spoiler and skirts detract from the potential ground clearance, but the lift makes up for it a little.

As you can see from my insta account, I'm usually to be found in Defenders!

Does a spare the same size fit in the spare wheel well? 2007 Supercharged.

Loving your light covers. And the yellow tints.
Took me a while to work out where you are located,
looks idyllic, aside of all the Land Rovers!

. Cheers, Greg

Not a hope!

If I was going anywhere where I needed a spare on hand, then I'd strap it to a roof rack.

Thanks very much. I'm pleased with how the light covers turned out too!

We're very fortunate over here - not just the location but a passionate car culture
