That is some ground clearance. What the height, 400-500mm?

Kermit, normal switchable offroad height is 280mm for the FFRR - IIRC Super-extended is either 330mm or 380mm, would need to go out to my car and check the manual. RRE will not be able to do that as it doesn't have airsuspension - its ground clearance on standard tyres is 215mm under the front axle, if you fitted some of the better off road tyres you might get an 5mm or so, although a friend on mine used to run a Freelander1 with the V6 engine and fitting BFG MTR's to that raised the car by 25mm (back to the height of all the other Freelander1's as the V6's had lowered "sports" suspension!)

Just out of interest on this. In the evoque with it's low pro tyres. Will going off road still be possible

Depends on the type of off-road terrain you want to traverse. The low-profile tyres are designed for the road, so they aren't going to get you across the Sahara, but for the Scottish trails Tim has posted photos of they should be fine.
Note: running with low-profile tyres will increase the risk of getting punctures and rim damage, even on blacktop.

I've seen a few bids online. Ie. Winter testing and the off road one, think that was auto express. R they low pro tyres.

Depends on you definition of low-profile tyres. I would say the 19" and 20" wheels have low-profile tyres but the 17" and 18" don't. Some would say only the 20" are low-profile.
