Default Wheel trade?

My 2020 Discovery came with the 22" wheel option (wasn't my choice and were an expensive option). They look terrific! Unfortunately, no one serlls any form of off-road capable tire for the 22 inch rim. I need a set of 20 inch wheels so I can go to a more agressive tire. Pehaps we could work a trade/swap/purchase deal of some kind. Original tires have just 20k miles. I live in Western Illinois.

I run Geolandar A/T G015 tire in a 275/55R20 size. The overall diameter is 31.8 inches.
It's a great tire with the snowflake symbol and was good on some serious off road trails.
It is quiet and smooth on pavement.

I see that this same tire is listed on Tirerack as available in 285/45R22. It lists the overall diameter as 32.1
That's only 3/16 inch bigger in radius so I don't think you'd have any trouble with it.
I do run a 1.5 inch lift but other posters have said they run 275/55R20 without any lift with no problem.

I didn't look but there are probably other tire choices in the 285/45R22 size. Plus, individual tire dimensions can vary - you might find one slightly smaller than 32.1 inches.

I do note that the 285/45R22 would be about 3/8 inch wider than my 275's but you already are running 285 width.
If you crawl under to check, make sure you check both the inner wheel wells and where the tire is closest to the steering knuckle in front.

Hi just sent you a PM. We just took delivery of a CPO HSE Lux with 20" wheels that we would like to upsize to 21" or 22". I'm in NJ and would consider selling or swapping wheels.

If anyone else is interested in this same situation, I just purchased a 2018 TD6 HSE Lux and am also looking for 20" wheels located in Utah. Coming from 21" wheels that look great, I'd rather be able to have more sidewall protection for offroad. This is the style of wheel currently fitted.

Cheers and great idea!

Are they in gloss black by any chance? We just got the car with these 20" which I'd like to upsize. They're wrapped in the stock Goodyears.

Sadly no, but obviously can be powdercoated. Looks like we're in almost the same boat. I'd also love black. Here's a pic of the 21"
