another alooy + tyre question

Hi all,

I have the below alloys and want to change the tyres.

I currenty run the car on 275/40/20.

I want bigger profile on them hoping to get better handling on road and bigger confidence off road.

What is the bigger tyre i can get without causing any problems?

Is 280/50/20 ok????

PART NUMBER: 9H32-1007-BAW
5 X 120 PCD
9.5J X 20EH2
ET 53 (OFFSET)
MAX LOAD 860KG
LAND ROVER STAMPED

THANK YOU ALL Very Happy

They will fit and so would 285/50/20 there tight at the top but spacers can be got if you are not happy.

MarkOne and AJS4X4, thank you both for your replies.

so you mean that there will be a problem if i go with that bigger size? 285/50/20? is it better to try 275/55/20 or 295/45/20?

how i can see what is the bigger width i can put?

thanks.

I live in the country in Northern Ireland uneven roads is all we have, again no problems and I tend not to hang about, so if anything was going to happen it would have happened before now I would hope.

I wouldn't go any less than 50 on the profile and I wouldn't think a 295 would fit.

285/50/20 works fine for me it feels great on the road, I never noticed a big change from going from standard HSE wheels maybe a bit more road holding at the front.

I ran 285/50/20 cooper zeon ltz on my d3 with the spacers (I have for sale) for about 5/6 years with no problem and they worked fantastic never a better combo for me..
Wish I could run these on the D4 without problems but people are telling me it won't work because of the steering stops and because it will mess up the gearbox etc etc.
I can sort the steering problem with steering stops but I'm worried about the auto gearbox.
I had not one single problem with the auto D3 and this combo with the spacers and it looked the Censored
