You can have standard wheels or any that were available as an option with the correct tyre size and rating, without having to inform your insurance company. So you can have the 20’s but will need to be right wheels and tyre size. 255/50/20…

Technically it's 2 mods as it's non standard size and speed rating. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Just looking on Pirelli's website and they don't list a Zero or Verde in 255/50 R20 or 255/55 R19 with a Y rating but they list a 255/55 R20 in Y.

I wasn’t looking for the best deal though… think Karik Fit might have a 10% code and Black Circles are cheaper….

Not with the required Y speed rating according to Pirelli although I see they are at some retailers.

Why rating is on the sticker in the door. I remember checking on my 405, as I have 1 W rated tyre for some reason, and either w or Y was ok according to the plate. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I suggest speaking to your insurer, I've done this twice and both times there weren't interested as long as I was using "wheels supplied by the car manufacturer" - their words not mine, presumably to protect them against issues with cheap copy alloys?
