Can anyone help me on tires? I'm completely clueless on offsets/spacers/sizes and such. I have the stock 22" satin gray rims with the Continentals 275/45/22. I'd like to put some all-terrains on it but there aren't very good choices in that exact size. Would 285/45/22's work fine? It says they'll fit the 9" rim and I figured just an extra 10mm width wouldn't cause problems, but I have no idea what I'm talking about. Any advice appreciated.

Land Rover New Rochelle has a new Defender 110 V8 Carpathian Edition for sale now, $10k markup. For sale if ya live or have a business in the NYC area. Salesperson called me this afternoon, person didn't qualify apparently. I decided I'm going with the '23 RR Sport myself. Trying to get a launch stock unit in my area so thought someone might wanna know.

Just about a year post order.....what a beast. Picked it up over the weekend. Very happy. Extremely happy. Front hood and all gloss back parts in front have been PPF'd. Ceramic coating on entire vehicle (including satin wrap and hood) to keep it in pristine condition 365. Windows tinted to match rear.

The only head-scratcher is the impossibly small trunk but hey that's what folded seats were made for....and my station in life makes a 2/3 door full acceptable.

Thanks again to this forum for great info and updates. I worked with an incredible dealership an salesperson in Atlanta. Happy to pass along info, just send a DM

Congrats! Looks awesome! I’m in Chattanooga. Who did your PPF on the gloss black? Which product? I didn’t think of doing ceramic over the wrap.

THanks so much. We used AP3 in Alpharetta, GA. They do incredible work--second car with them. The film and window tints are both xpel.
