I hear you! The 21’s on my 17’ Lux actually weren’t that bad, handled and rode nice. But having the 20’ with the extra rubber is very nice! And don’t blame you on trading in your Yukon, the disco is on another level ! Hope your liking your new ride

I did my research....I read everything I could find on the LR, the Lexus 460,Audi Q-7 drove them all...and I took an 18 Denali for a spin that rode worse than mine. I really like it so far, except the dealer can't seem to get the home link to work. Going in tomorrow to have it replaced. The saleswomen at Cap Cities knows less about the Disco than I do...not very much help.

Did you buy yours at Capital Luxury on New Kramer Road? Their not the best over there... ask for Chris (service manager) at service if you have any issues, he’s good...

Yes, Car salesmen just aren't that good anywhere lately from what I saw. Not very impressed. I ended up with Michele...who really doesn't know much at all, she deferred to Andy ("Sales Manager")a couple of times, so I just call him now. I haven't met Chris...I have been dealing with Ali so far...I'm sure I will though.

New set up looks great. Where'd you source those Stormer wheels? Any highway vibrations with those tires and spacers?

Odd that 275/45/21s fit but you needed spacers on 275/55/20s? Ranger Rover wheels have a different offset or BS than Disco 20s?

I have RRS sport wheels (2018) with 275/55R20 and no Rubbing.

i think the 2013 models and up have the same offset, I believe Stormers are an earlier wheel.

Different tires can be quite a bit different in their actual dimensions. I have found the more aggressive for offroad the tire the chunkier the thread and more square it tends to be on the edges, and thus more likely to rub. GY Duratracs are very aggressive for an AT tire, getting close to MTs, while Michelins tend to be a lot "softer" in the corners. I wonder if that may be part of it where one rubs and the other doesn't.
