Damn that looks great… is that a Carpathian Gray body color?

Another question!

Do you have to recalibrate the speedometer on either vehicle when you are swapping 20" wheels and 22" wheels?

Cheers

No. The rims might be sized differently, but the circumference of 18, 19, 20 and 22" stock tires is virtually the same, same revs per mile, so your speedo remains accurate regardless.

I don’t see why not. I have a MY22 X on order (expected in December) and spec’d 20” style 5098 wheels to use with snow tires.

No calibration required. The overall diameter of the wheel and tire together won’t change much. Bigger wheel usually = lower profile tire.

rig looks really great! assuming that this is going to hold true for a 2022 x dynamic HSE 110 p400. have one coming in that was originally ordered (by someone else) on 22's and i'm going to want to downsize the 20's. (possibly those alstons) my assumption is the switch down to 20's won't be an issue, and am waiting for LR to confirm, but while i wait, thought i'd toss it out here.

No mods needed. An easy swap. I went from 22" 5098's on my P400 See to 20" 5098's in gloss black. Pretty happy with the results:

Did you swap these already. I have some 20" 5095 wheels that I may be willing to swap.
