L494 wheels with 255/55/20 tyres on L320 - now fitted

I saw some wheels advertised locally at a good price. All wheels immaculate, original factory condition with 7mm of tread on all, Michelin Latitude Sport tyres. One thing that did concern me was the tyre size at 255/55/20 which compared with the L320 at 275/40/20 is a significant increase in sidewall depth.

Anyway, I took the plunge, fitted them and I actually much prefer the look and ride quality!

I've also measured my speedo against GPS calculated speed and it is now bang on.

Cheers guys, I'm really pleased with them. Smile

Previous was the standard 275/40/20 but the speedo always read high when compared with GPS speed as it does on many vehicles. Kev

I wish I’d done that. They look so much better in the arches than the low profile tyres.

What size spare wheel do you have or do you just carry a can of the foam sealant?

I've just got the standard spare at the moment.

I appreciate that there is a different rolling radius and this may cause traction control errors. If it comes to it and I have to use it as a 'get me home', I'll just turn off the traction control. Kev

By the way, if anyone needs any of these wheels, please let me know because my source has pretty much an unlimited supply of them and can ship them via pallet or local pickup in Poole/Bournemouth area. Prices vary depending on condition and tread on tyres. Kev

Do you ever have issues with DSC applying itself on round-abouts? There seem to be many stories of this happening.

No not at all.

I'm only aware of this happening for one forum member. Kev

Whilst I appreciate that these are genuine LR alloys and am sure there are no safety considerations, bearing in mind that they were never fitted as standard to the L320, what would your insurance company say? Do you think they would regard them as a modification?

Indeed they do. Insurance company have been made aware and noted on policy. No premium increase. Kev

Hi,
we had no issues either when we fitted 255/55/19 to our L320 and not classed as a modification,
as they were an original l/R wheel and a size fitted to other L/R's Confused

strictly speaking the 255/55/19 has been fitted to a L320 the G4 Cool

Always best to notify them and note the time and date you do it

These are 255/55/20 which weren't fitted to the L320 from the factory. But yes, I 100% agree that it's best to tell them. As we know, they always try and wriggle out of a claim Wink Kev

I'm interested that you said that there are many stories of this happening. I know that forum member MEC had an issue which he documented here but I am unaware of any other members having a problem.

In addition, there are people who have fitted oversized wheels to the L320 which also increase the rolling circumference without DSC issues. I must admit, it isn't my cup of tea and there have been issues with un-damped steering racks causing vibrations on the early L320s, but not DSC issues as far as I'm aware. Kev
