For some reason I couldn't find that size when searching I was searching by vehicle type and was only seeing the Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyre. Search by size I find them...
Speed rating of Q so no autobahn high speed runs then
Velar HSE D240 - MY19
Served by the excellent Shukers Land Rover of Ludlow - 10 Land Rover’s and 20 years of amazing customer service.
Hi,
I wrote several times to LR Italy and to LR Global Customer Relation for homologated off road tyre and/or rims for the new Discovery (5) and the answer was: "no type of off-road wheels or tires are foreseen for the European market. we're sorry"...
The only way for off road is to buy tires and rims that are not approved in Europe.
I should not have replaced my old Discovery 3 , I should not have trusted Land Rover.
At the Land Rover Experience meetings the new Discovery (5) is equated with the Discovery Sport or the Range Rover Evoque, like a normal SUV: they do not allow to ride the same path of Discovery 3/4 because of the tires.
If you want to off-road in Europe do not buy a new Discovery!! In the USA there are several of homologated tyres for off-road...
Lucky8 LLC are running 18" wheels with lift rods, but the tire dimensions should work without the lift if you stick to 255/65-18 - the outside diameter is 0.1 in greater than OEM. In 265/65-18 you can get DuraTracs, and the tire OD is still 0.3 in smaller than my 275/55-20 AT's.
The 18"' alloys in the earlier pics look like Compomotives, not LR alloys. I know its these that folks use when fitting 18's to the D4.
The D5 might run the same size 19's but the offset is different, 47 instead of 53 I think. This means the wheel sits further out, which is possible why you have the issue with D4 wheels catching the caliper.

Now gone - D5 HSE 2Ltr in Corris with black roof, black & dynamic packs & 22" black alloys, a bit of a change after 2 D3's and 2 D4's
I looked for several 18" rims for the D5 and the only ones that can be mounted are the Compomotive (€1500 for 4 alloy rims) without spacers or the TuffAnt (€1100 for 5 steel rims with 30mm spacers): I preferred 5 TuffAnt rims, cheaper.
The calipers problems are only on the rear axis, and only the D5 Sd4 can mount 18" rims, the D5 V6 mount larger brake discs.
