Swapped my 22" 5098 wheels for 20" 6011
Have had my '22 P400 110 X dynamic HSE for a few months now and finally got rid of the 22" gloss black rims and continental tires that came with it. When I got the truck back in April, I took someone's cancelled order and it was one of the few items I wouldn't have ordered myself. I went back and forth on OEM and aftermarket options, and ultimately decided on the OEM 6011 6 spoke black wheels. I've always gravitated towards those wheels and honestly couldn't find an aftermarket compatible 20" rim that spoke to me any better. As an aside, I was pretty amazed at how many local JLR dealers told me I couldn't (or they wouldn't) downsize the 22's to 20's because of the brakes. (Even with me showing them the exact brake caliper and rotor parts numbers, and providing documentation of multiple p400's with the same brakes and 20" wheels.)
Since I ultimately did go through a dealer, they would only agree to fit the rims with an LR spec tire, and I went with the wrangler AT adventures. It's perfectly fine with me for now. At some point, I might go to something beefier, but honestly don't expect to do any "major" off-roading with this truck. (I have many years of jeep and rover off-roading under my belt so I am well aware and well versed in all the trappings.) For this particular truck though, I just wanted to lose the 22" street rim and tire setup, and go to something that would be a little more "all terrain" oriented. Besides tooling around the suburbs, I spend a lot of time on fire roads, easy trails, river banks, boat ramps, etc. when I'm off fly fishing and exploring. So I think this setup will cover all my bases just fine.
Anyway, I just wanted to post this because I know there's been a fair amount of chatter regarding downsizing wheels, as well as questions about the 6011 rims with the off road tires (guess the configurator doesn't allow this anymore).
Here's a quick snap I took today. Better pics to follow at some point. And thanks to all out there who post so much useful information. I really turned to this board quite a bit before making the call, and appreciate all the insight and experience.

Thanks. Yes, I know all about the duratracs, but not a huge fan of them (not looking to turn this into a tire thread) so if I decide to go for more off road capability, I’ll go to bfg or falken.

I am with you. I too ended up with an uspoken for allocation, and it was spec'd with the 22s. In my case, I must have asked and made them ensure me 100 different ways this build did not have the 380mm brakes. Alas, it did, and the wheels to match. Harumph.
I went down to 20's as well, again despite them insisting that it wouldnt fit over the very brakes they insisted were not on the vehicle. I ended up going aftermarket.

Really bad information being relayed to you by your dealer. Downsizing from 22 to 20" wheels is no issue at all. I did the same thing on my 2021 P400 SE - I have my summer set up - 22" 5098's on Continental Cross Contacts - and my winter set up is 20" 5098's on Goodyear 255/60R20 Duratracs. Pretty pleased with the results and not much drop in mpg or increase in road noise. I think both wheel/tire options look great - its all down to personal choice and I sit firmly in both camps for an aggressive street look on 22's, and an aggressive off road look on 20's (yes, I know a 20" wheel/tire is not 'full off road').
