Default Defender 255/60r20 on Disco5?

Defender 255/60r20 on Disco5?

Will they fit without lift @ access height?

Will TPMS work?

TIA

They will fit just fine. They have a different offset, but they will fit without issue. Lots of Discovery owners are running Defender wheels and tires. As long as you are using OEM TPMS sensors, they will work. In my experience, aftermarket TPMS sensors are hit or miss. Sometimes they'd work, but most of the time they don't, and that goes for my old D5 and current Defender.

Thanks! I assumed the rims should fit pretty easily but it good to get confirmation. I was mostly concerned with the tire size fitting as well. 255/60r20 vs oe 255/55r20.

The tire diameter on the 255/60R20 is only 1" bigger than the stock 255/55R20. There is more than enough room for these slightly larger wheels.

Is anyone running 5098 style Defender takeoffs on their D5? Know they will fit but want to get an idea visually of what they’d look like
