FYI for those reading this and assuming that 275/55 R20 tires will be fine with 30mm spacers like I did, I have bad news. I have 275/55 R20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires installed on the factory 6011 rims, they look great, don't rub, ride quality/noise are very similar to the stock Pirelli's, been very happy with them so far. I put the 30mm H&R spacers on last night and they just barely rub in normal height, it gets worse access height. Note sure exactly why there is a such a big difference between JesseRohr's truck and mine, perhaps the Ko2's are slightly more rounded at the corner of the tire?

I do love the look with the spacers, but I'm pretty sure even 25mm spacers would still rub in access. Maybe a 20mm spacer might work, I'll have to remove them and double check the measurements. On another note I can't return the set of 30's that are on the front anymore, I bought them before I had the tires fitted. Anyone in Vancouver, BC that could use em?

I would like to source 10mm spacers, I know totally different design, would need longer studs vs more hardware like with 25-30 mm spacers. I’m just asking.

smallest spacers from H&R for land rovers are 20mm (they have 20, 22, 25, 30, 35, 40 , 45, 50), just looked them up to order some. I'd image 10mm ones would just be a more generic disc and brand wouldn't be as important. You'd either need to replace the OEM studs with longer ones, or potentially just use extra deep lug nuts if they exist.

Hey Iceman, probably a long shot after this long....but still have those 30mm spacers kicking around? Looking for some for my 2023 X and I am 40 minutes from Vancouver.
