2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

Its not the wider tyre they have trouble with its the spec of the wider tyre or for that matter the spec of any tyre you decide to put on even if the original LR rim.
i.e. speed ratings and load ratings. D4 HSE Lux MY16 Club Waitomo
D3 HSE MY06 missing her still…

Chuckling to myself as a previous vehicle of mine, 1971 VW type 2, had Porsche D90 wheels with iirc smart car tyres on the front and yaris tyres on the rear - Adrian Flux informed it had aftermarket wheels and tyres, no charge and just noted on the insurance - didn't ask about what type of tyres or the wheels themselves (they were a set of 2 x front 6J wheels with adapters), perhaps they don't capture this level of information and rely on MOT procedure to determine if a vehicle is roadworthy?
