I'm looking for a second set of wheels for my D3 so I can fit some winter tyres.
I've been looking on flea bay and there are various sellers suggesting that RR Sport wheels will fit directly to D3s.
Does anyone know if this is true?

They will fit but are an inch wider than D3 alloys ...so care is needed with tyre choice...road tyre will be tight but fine ...MTR's will rub. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

But the 255/55 R19 MTR's aren't any bigger than any other 255/55 R19, just deeper tread, so why would/should they rub? The End

RRS wheels are 9J not the 8 or 8.5J of a D3

Very true, but if they fit with standard tyres on they'll fit with MTRs on
Wouldn't use them myself, prefer the look of the D3 ones and I like the extra 'bulge' you get with the narrower rim The End
