Yes on the 20s, that is the smallest Rim you can go with and not have to do any modifications to your brakes.
That is what I just ordered for my V8 90, which the V8s have larger brakes but 20" rims are an approved size wheel by Land Rover.
I wanted the taller sidewall for both better rim protection, as well as smoother ride.
Thank you for your response. Just to confirm, although the V8 has a larger brake, the OEM 20" wheels and tires should fit even though LR doesn't list them as an option for that vehicle?
Do I need to keep anything in mind vis a vis the offset or other specs to ensure there isn't an issue?

If you looking at Oem wheels those are all around 8.5-9” wide with around a + 40 offset ,
Aftermarket wheels you want stay with a + 25 or higher offset . I ordered a +30 offset .
Tire sizes are typically in the spec range of 32” tall 11” wide tires . Ie. 275/55R20 has those dimensions .

Thanks so much - that was very helpful. Parting from an OEM tire of 275/45/22 with a 40mm offset, then a 255/60/20 with a 30mm offset seems like a great option (and is a size that the Michelin X-Ice SUV comes in):
Anyone seen this before.
These two specs are really throwing me.
I am thinking I am going to play it safe and order the 275/55R20 Falkens.
They are both called 275s but spec out more like a 285 at 11.2" wide.
The D is 32.1 tall the XL is 31.9 tall.
Tread depth on the D is 18 where it is only 13 on the XL.
Apparently, they offer that tire in two different load ranges. One is what I would assume is a 4 ply only it has a XL load range rating that is higher then the 8 ply load range D version.
Tread depth is a lot better on the load range D as well.
I would have assumed the lighter of the two with max PSI of 50 lbs would be the way to go.
P275/55R20 XL
LT275/55R20 Load range D.
I pulled the trigger on ordering my tires today.
After a lot of research and shopping I stumbled across a 275/55R20 in the older Falken AT3W AT in a standard load range with a 113 load index .
Seems the AT4w that’s replacing the AT3W is better in some ways but none that really applied to me, The AT3W is the better fit for my needs, it’s smoother ride, better in severe weather conditions etc etc,
Update on the Wheels , tracking showed an ETA of next week.
After talking myself in and out of many ideas, I landed on going from 22’s to 20’s.
Next came the fun of researching what wheels I wanted. Lots of options but I was drawn to a set of Mondials from Kahn in the UK. Not sure I’ve seen them on the forum yet but Kahn and Chelsea Truck Co are worth a google.
Imported them myself with a small $150 tariff + around $600 in shipping as I recall.
Pics below using KO2’s in 275/55. If curious, these wheels are purpose built for our Defenders and come in a 30 offset.
I always love chelsea wheel but could not afford. If one day you get bored of these wheels let me know

After following @Chris.Gio and others' research, I think I've opted for the "easy" route to get some winter tires for my 2024 110 P525.
I think I'm just going to stay with the OEM 22" wheels and get 285/45/22 winter tires rather than futz around with different 20" sizes and then get a set of wheels as well where I need to pick an offset.
It's a size that the Nokian R5 SUV and the Michelin X-Ice Snow both come in, so now I need to decide between those!
These wheels only come in this satin black diamond cut finish. One of the press officers at Goodwood said that they might offer the wheel in the same satin grey that is currently on offer on the 20" five spoke wheels if there is demand for it. Also, if you scroll to the 15:04 mark on the third video from Powerful UK, you'll see me in the background talking with Simon lol.

When I ordered my wheels, I went with the standard two tone 20x9 +30, but they do offer to make them in custom colors, sizes, and offsets. Just adds around a month to the lead time according to their website.
