Tyres in I663 275/60/20
Hi to all!
Does anyone know if it is possible to install it on I663 110 23 MY I6 D MHEV without modifying anything in the wheel arches or installing spacers?
Thanks in advance!! Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

I fiited this size and they're perfect. They fill the arches like the factory tyres should have. I have fitted the genuine factory Land Rover mudflaps and wheel arch extensions prior to having the new tyres fitted and they all compliment each other well.

No wheel-spacers needed.
No rubbing.
Speedo is now correct (UK standard settings).
The gearing appears to be unaffected too.

Looking good! No rubbing off road or at full lock?

No not at all. The BFG's have quite a hard tread but with the exttra inch height I'm sure it'll even itself out.
I think the 110 looks juicy now.

When you say the speedo is now correct, what was the problem before and what tyres were you using?

TIA.

That it now no longer under-reads. Manufacturers set these below the actual speed shown in the cluster (a set tolerance) to accomodate different size wheels/tyres/pressures so you're never actually driving at 60 when the speedo says it's 60 (more like 57).

You can correct this using IIDG4 but I never bothered.

With my larger tyres my speedo now matches gps perfectly, so 30 is 30 (not 27.5 mph) etc.

255/60/20 factory size previously.

Ah - ECE Regulation 39.

Was wondering if there was a specific JLR-related problem...

I really like the look of that setup, looks mean, but in a purposeful way.

Interestingly, you said that the 275/60/20 doesn't rub anywhere, I found a post somewhere else saying that it did. I am looking for getting a second wheel + tyre set for any winter/off road driving and weighing in all the tyre setups:
255/60/20
275/55/20
and now also
275/60/20

Depending on a tyre availability.
