Hey all- I’ve searched my heart out but am finally left with a question I could use all of your expert guidance on. I’m a newb to modern LR’s so appreciate all of your help immensely.

I recently came into a new to me 2017 RRS td6 HSE. It is currently running the OEM black 22” rims.

I spent a lot of time on forest roads and in the mountains hunting this year and have so far gotten 2 flats. To be expected- I ain’t mad or anything - the car isn’t set up to be off of a paved road when it’s bone stock like it is.

I want to keep it as close to stock as possible as it has low miles and is a daily driver, but I do need more offroad resiliency.

I’m wondering with my current rim (22x9.5) and tire (275/40/22) set up, what my best options are for giving this thing a little more...range.

I could drop down to a 20 inch rim which seems to have a lot of A/T tire options, but I’d love to not spend on rims and tires.

Can I reasonably fit a 275/50(or 55)/22 on the car with minimal issues? I know it will affect my computed readings like distance travelled and odometer which I’m a little worried about, but do I need to have any concerns about transmission or other? I’m sure I could fit the above tires on with a small lift, but if I could get away with it without that I’d like to try. Any reasons I shouldn’t?

I was never such a worry wart about the old D2 which I could throw whatever tires I wanted on because it was the adventure car, but as since thats bit the dust and this is a pretty big investment just trying to minimize my chances of screwing things up.

thanks in advance for any and all advice.

 

I have a 2020 disco 5... but I grabbed an extra set of the 20s off of a range rover sport for $400 on ebay and threw $120 worth of amazon tpms and then 275/55r20 bfg ko2s on them as my spare set of wheels. The same set up would work on yours... i swap between the stock 20s on pirellis and the rrs 20s with ko2s depending on what my wife wants on it... she seems to prefer the ko2s lol

 

Those 20's with the BFGs look really good. They definitely would fit. Thanks! Like the purple too. lol

You think I could get 275/45/22's in there with not too much problem?

 

I think we have the same suspension set up and geometry... not sure about inner fender wells though ... likely fine and worst case scenario being a reshape with a 12$ harbor freight heat gun.
275/45r22s are essentially the same size. They work on the disco without lift rods but we typically install the lift anyway.
