If it say they fit then they probably will, however, those tyres as I understand things are a bit cheap and cheerful.
I personally would never fit a cheap and nasty tyre to any car I had, After all, you only have that little contact patch between you and the road....then the hedge....then the hospital.
I looked at some 20" versions of these on Monday and although they looked fine in the box, I'm not sure how long the black paint finish would last back out in the real world hence I ended up with the standard plain silver 20" stormers.
Also, personally, I think the 22" rims look too big but hey fella, go with what you like. It's your car and money.
Be happy.
If you read through some of the threads regarding 20" wheels (I did, about 15 times!) I'm sure most of it will be applicable to those 22". Offsets, tyre widths etc all play a part.
By the way..if I were being a little cynical, I'd say for your first post to carry a link to an ebay site selling wheels for Disco's could be contstrued as slightly dodgy  Keeping it Claret and Blue

I think I've seen these on a FFRR. They looked quite good on an all black RR if you're into that sort of thing (and you all know i like mucho blackness on my D3 )
And don't be cynical, he doesn't live in the same county as the seller & the seller seems to get throiugh a fair ammount of wheels....
Mudcred, if you are even thinking of showing these wheels a blade of grass off of tarmac, don't bother, your ultra low profile tyes won't last more than 100 yards (or is that metres....)
The rating of the tyres is also only 106, which is too low for the D3 in theiry, although some have used them on the road. Would possibly be of concern to your insurance company though should you vere have a blowout and accident for example.
Good luck & welcome to the site  TDV6 HSE Black, Black Wheels /MTR's, Black RRS front/rear LR badge (tbf) Black Leather, Black Glass, Black TowB, Shiny Tasmods, Dull Mantec, White (& Orange) Reflective D3 Sticker, Black steering wheel badge, black air intake. Optima & Traxide dual battery setup.

22" alloys are always copies, as LR never did a 22" rim even for the RRS, so check the wheel wieght rating (at least 900Kg, ideally 940kg) The tyres at 106 weight rating are well below spec for the D3 (111 min for UK spec). A 9.5" wide 20" alloy is tight, so I dont see a 10" wide fitting, unless the offset is greater (smaller number than 53, which is standard)
hope this helps

Hi,
Sorry to come across "dodgy" just a newbie looking for a quick insight.
So do you think these are the wrong size wheels and tyres to fit a discovery 3. Ive thought about the 20" stormer but just thought the 22" would fill the arch nicely, maybe im wrong. Also Bodsy what alloys and MTR'S are you running as that could be another option.
Thanks for the help.

Mudcred, I got mine off e-bay. They're the spare wheels off Range Rover Sport.
They're the same as the HSE 19" wheels, but with the MT/R's on, they have a menacing look about them. There's a few on here that have them. You can also get the std silver ones & have them powder coated for about £40 a wheel (ISTR)
StuRox had his Anthracite. I like the look & they still offer a comfortable ride.
Oh and a darn site cheaper than teh ones you're looking at  TDV6 HSE Black, Black Wheels /MTR's, Black RRS front/rear LR badge (tbf) Black Leather, Black Glass, Black TowB, Shiny Tasmods, Dull Mantec, White (& Orange) Reflective D3 Sticker, Black steering wheel badge, black air intake.
