I think personally I might be inclined to check with your insurance company first, to see if it's o.k. with them, as I think it would be classed as a modification these day's and not ever being a o.e. size on the L320 either.

You bought 2? You'll need another 2 if you're going to try using them. Running different rolling radius tyres will likely cause your traction control / DSC to have a gentle fit. At 60 mph, the 285/45 will be 2mph faster than the 285/40. Not much but it could be enough to upset things.

Yes - I know I'll need another 2off if I can get someone to advise whether these will fit or not before i buy another 2off

Ah, I was just checking that you knew about the need for 4 as we have, in the past, had people come on here wanting to do staggered sizes between front and rear axles - presumably because they think it would look cool.

I think its going to be a case of putting these two tyres i have on to the alloys I have and test fitting them to the car

Yeah, that's probably your only/best way of knowing for sure. Need to check on both axles as well, as the rear axle has a great range of vertical movement than the front. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
