Which begs the question, apart from aesthetics and grip what is the point of fitting 'oversized' wheels to an RR? What benefits do they bring to off road conditions?

Range Rover Blues:
Someone say grip?  they make the handling worse too :?

When you lift a truck you get extra clearance under the front, belly and back end (the RRC achille's heal).

You get nothing under the diffs, arguably the lowest point.  Not a massive problem but as you get more extreme off-road you do start dragging the diff around a bit.

Fit bigger tyres and you get an extra inch at least under the axle plus another inch everwhere else.

Add to that you can get over rocks a tad easier with a bigger radius tyre too.

But like everything it's a compramise.
