Default Aftermarket wheels

I just purchased a 2008 Range Rover Supercharged with 20" wheels. I have ordered some Redbourne Duke 22" wheels. Now I am a little concerned that this change will have negative side effects, ranging from vibration to some form of driving difficulty. What can I expect?

Even your 20" wheels/tires ride bas, 22"s will just make it worse and the cost per mile on that size tire is off the charts.

Just make sure they balance the wheels correctly. There might be a little shaking on the wheels but if it's too extreme they may have not put the weights on correctly... I just put on some 22" asanti's and it shook at first, but once they balanced everything it's pretty smooth. If you hit 60 mph you might feel a little wheel "vibration" but it's completely normal.

I have heard that redbourne's have a centered hub, meaning they are very well balanced, Im get a set my self.

i added 22" TIS 07 wheels wrapped with yokohama prada spec x tires (285/35/22). personally think it rides and drives awesome. add nitrogen instead of regular air... increase the PSI a few lbs over recommended, check balance and ail. and you should be awesome!
cheers-
