I have been running 275/45 x 21" SVR wheels and tyres on my MY13 S/C L320 for nearly 5 years now and have had absolutely no issues with the brakes or anything else whatsoever. The speedo is spot on and the ride fine, the offset is no issue either. Oh and welcome to the forum. Can I ask how you deduced there would be a 7% reduction in braking efficiency?

I was thinking of changing my 21s for a set of 20s but after reading this I’ll keep them On for now.

Hi Dave B,

New member and my first post so forgive me for any schoolboy errors! I have just become the owner of a MY10 TDV8 and I am looking to add some L405 21” wheels, 275/45/21 as you have, I’m happy with the radio is etc but I just wanted to check if you had any issues with the reduced offset I know it’s only 4mm but how is the clearance to the callipers?

Thanks

Evening Lee, we conversed briefly via fleabay reference the winter tyres I have.

Anyway, no issues at all with caliper clearance, and I have the 6 pot Brembos.

I'll send you a PM, hope as a newbie you can open it.

Hi Dave, now it’s definitely a small world! I’m pleased that they fit no issue, just been struggling to decide between keeping my 20” and getting some winter rubber or upgrading to the 21”‘, ideally I would keep both, put some winter tyres on the 20”s and have the 21”s for the summer but I’m not sure I can make my budget stretch unless I can sell on my 20” Pirelli’s. Choices choices


I will check my PM and see if I can access them yet

Hi Lee. I’m actually selling my 21’s with Pirelli scorpion tyres that still have 6mm of tread on all four

Thanks Flyfisherman, could you PM me some details and maybe we can have a chat.

Cheers Lee
