If money no object just buy a second set of wheels and tyres either the same size as you have or a set of 19's with something like 255 55 19 as that should be near enough the same radius and fit over the brakes with no issues the 19's would be the cheaper option i think as there will be more of them around |

My MY15.5 came with 275/45 R21 all season tyres and I bought a new set of 20" rims c/w 255/55 R20 winter tyres.

I've taken the same route as hafman. I managed, back in August, to get a set of unused 20inch wheels and tyres for £650.00. The owner of the car had fitted a set of 22inch aftermarket rims. These have been fitted with 255/55/20 Pirelli winter tyres and I have a spare set of summer tyres, Michelins, in the garage. I spoke to our local LR service centre about TPMS valves and their advice was don't bother, just use regualer valves. You will get a warning but that can be cleared and the flashing symbol stops flashing after a couple of minutes.

Or your LR service centre can turn off TPMS monitoring, as I can do with the GAP iiDTool 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine 14MY Range Rover Evoque Dynamic SD4 Black Pack - wife's 99MY Defender 90 TD5, Soft Top Conversion - my toy, and bairns favourite |

Just remember that if your car is post 2013.5 build and due to be getting an MOT soon that TPMS is a legal requirement now so you willneed to reset it before having the car MOT’d. 2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV on order for April delivery, bye bye Land Rover after 21 years and 11 LR products..... all because you won’t give me reassurance that should my SDv6 crankshaft break because of a design fault, not MY fault, but the engine builders fault - it will be replaced for free.

It’s only a mot fail if the lights on or showing a tpms fault.

If you get a 2nd set of wheels get some that are even numbered.

thanks to all who replied. In the end I asked the dealer his advice who informed me that my RRS has 20 inch brake callipers which means I need 21 inch wheels. I have decided to keep the wheels, buy some new winter tyres (continental wintercontact TS 850 P) and swap them over. |

I believe for Brembo brake calipers you need min 19" wheels as that is what I have for
