Simon, the RRS 19" wheels and tyres do fit.
They look bl**dy huge, but there is clearance. However, I did not have time today to road test them or anything more than put one on and raise and lower the suspension. Obviously we turned the wheels in both directions with vehicle raised and lowered. All OK.
What we have realised is that Jeremy Clarkson, went up the Scottish Hill with 19" Wranglers, so they must fit, but did LR do any mods to make them?
Before I take them on or off road, I want to call some people to get that answer.
They would look awesome for the 7th Aug. Heaven help anyone following me as mud would fly everywhere with their tread.

If the rims fit with Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs that would be great. The MT/Rs are specified in the owners handbook as an alternative tyre for the Disco 3. I was concerned more about the rim width than the tyre width. Have you any photos? Disco 3 TDV6HSE Cairns blue auto

Simon, I am the worst for photo's but if I can get the answers soon, I could be trying them out at Tixover next Tuesday, maybe I can take some pictures then.
They do look so aggressive on the D3, I should think the ride on the road is going to be quite noisy, but off road, I cannot wait. They off course have the correct weight rating and reinforced tyre walls, so side swipes will not matter.
I use them on my 110's and they stand up to hell, but mileage is not too great on road, about 80,000 miles we get.
