Wheel upgrade
Any precautions when upgrading from my RRE 19" wheels to the style 8 20" wheel (ie TPMS etc)?
Many thx in advance.

RE: Wheel upgrade
Weather is tough here. Today was one of the worst days of the winter and would be best described as torrential drizzle. Wait... What was that?... Tomorrow's forecast is 72 degrees partly cloudy? Long live California.
I would have opted for 22s, but to get it to look right I'd have to lower a car that rides so smooth. 20s it is. Talked to the seller and they confirmed no problem with swapping the TPMS. Of course their motivated to sell the wheels so they'll do their best to meet any request if it means a sale. Babyrr.com to the resque.
Any words of advice/caution on making the swap?

I have read on another forum that the TPM is indeed no issue.

New to the forum and searching now.
Did you get oem tpms or the clone one Mijo?

RE: Wheel upgrade
When I changed my 18 to 20s on my XF the dealer recalibrated some software.
Maybe the car needs to be told it has 20s??

RE: Wheel upgrade
Check with your dealer, but I believe that no calibration is needed so long as you stick with the right profile for the 20" tyres - IIRC LR designed the car to be able to run any OEM wheel/tyre spec on any version of the car i.e. so long as you stick with the OEM profile of tyre on the 20" it will have the same rolling diameter as your 18" wheel with the correct profile of tyre for that wheel
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Wheel upgrade
I went from a 20 to a 18 for my snow tires.
No calibration is needed. Just needed the tpms and it all sorts itself out.
Should be similar for rr Evo?
