Default 20" RR wheels on a 05 LR3 SE

I was looking at installing 20" x 8.5 Range Rover wheels with 5.75 bolt pattern on my 2005 LR3 SE. Currently, I have the stock 18" wheels with a 120 bolt pattern. Does anyone know if I would be able to fit the 20" rims on my LR3? Would I need new lug nuts or anything else? I'm not sure if the bolt pattern would work or the offset. Also, what would be the biggest tire I could put on the 20" without it rubbing? Thanks

Do you realize your truck will ride like crap with 20" wheels, it will be like drive a cattle truck. Give it a real serious thought and try something smaller.

How would the 19" RR wheels be? I just don't like the look of the 18" LR3 SE and its hard to get a hold of 19" LR3 HSE wheels.

19's are better and between the different Rover forums classified sections, I have seen 19's out there for sale.

Whichever wheel you end up using, I'd advice listening to Mike. 20" or bigger makes for a rough ride on the LR3. I wouldn't go over 19 if you are dead set on Low Pro look. I sold my HSE 19" and bought 18's to put on mine. I couldn't have made a better move.
