    2021 D300 with 20in Defender wheels

    Does anyone have any photos of a D300 fitted with 20in Defender wheels (type 5098 or similar).

    I'm currently on 22in but I always prefer a lesser diameter and new tyre time is approaching.

    Do 20's actually fit a D300 (MY2021).

    Any thoughts appreciated..

    I was looking at this a while ago, was keen to have a set of 20's with chunky tyres. I found some posts suggesting that there was a 5mm difference in offset between the defender and Discovery 5 meaning a spacer might have to be used on the Discovery, but didn't find any confirmation of that. I believe 20" is the smallest size that can be fitted and clear the brake calipers. Also be interested to see some photos if anyone has done the swap successfully.
    Also wondering if Range Rover Sport rims might be a closer size match?
    There's a lot of sometimes conflicting info online, at the time I gave up on the idea.

    There is a 6mm offset difference between D3/D4 20" wheels and D5 20" wheels, however I believe that RRS and Defender wheels are a direct swap with D5 wheels.

    I have seen some posts about people having problems with Defender TPMS valves not working on D5s? I don't know why, they should be compatible and it is only a scattering of posts not a common problem.

    Well answering my own original question here.

    I have just changed my 22's for a set of Defender 20's (type 5098).

    Sooo much quieter..... sooo much smoother.... sooo much nicer to drive really!

    No regrets at all and I actually really like the look too!

    Mirror caps next if I can work out how to get the Censored off!

    Yep, I fitted 20 inch Defender wheels as well, think they really suit the Discovery 👍
