United States 2012 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black
Upgrading rims/tires 2012 RRS

I'm curious I want to upgrade my rims and tires from the factory stock 20s. But I've been told that since it has the leveling suspension if I get anything bigger it will mess up the car when it levels out. Is there a way I can disable the leveling system or do I have to at all? And is it possible to get the off-road tires or should I stick to the stocks for the 20s?

The car works much worse off-road with anything >20", while there are some off-road tires of 21 and 22 size, I doubt they will be of correct dimensions width/profile wise.
RRS is not actually designed for anything bigger than 20" anyway. If you fit 4 identical wheels it will cooperate with the suspension, however issues may occur (tires or rims touching the suspension elements etc). Regards etc.,

Your car is an S/C so your problem when going below 20" stock alloys is finding a design that will fit over the big Brembo brakes, there is a Land Rover OEM design 19" that will fit no problem but most will not clear the callipers. I ran my TDv8 HSE on a set of Goodyear MTRs from s Discovery 3 on Disco3 19" rims with no problems (Discovery 3 is LR4 IIRC in USA) 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
