And soju.

I'm learning the hard way (decided to keep 5x120 bolt pattern and use adapter, in case I ever want to sell to a Range Rover), that Land Rover parts are very expensive.

Lug nuts retail for $24.02 each, and I need 16. Wheel locks retail around $90 for 4. That's $474.32 or $500 in lugs and locks.

Another reason for me not to buy a Range Rover Sport Supercharged I keep eyeing... If lugs are these expensive, I can't imagine the other parts.

Most Land Rover lugs are flat and don't use a cone seat as a FYI. So adapter will use 14x1.5 threads.

They look awesome man. What is going to be the difference in overall tire diameter with the new setup?

30.73" vs oem 30.43" vs current 30.34".

I was going to go 31.9", but Handy_Andy had some words of wisdom not to mess with the speedometer reading (I guess I could change it with the UniChip (possibly?), but my winter set would be messed up then).

Also, not sure if it's due to having a FX45, but my front H&R setup, I have almost 1 finger gap and 2 finger gap in rear. I really have no more room for a taller tire.

Having 3.36" of side wall vs OEM 5.21" and current 4.17", I am fine with that. Some cars/sedans have less side wall than 3.36". I plan to run nitrogen at 38 PSI, trading comfort for wheel protection. I currently run 40 PSI so, not a big deal to me. Some have driven my car and haven't complained about a rough ride.

If you are driving, you don't feel it, but passengers do notice more of a rough ride I believe.
 
Might have been better to have these done at 114 and save on the hassle and cash.. unless you really made a killing on these.

Agreed, but items are already enroute.

I did find incredible deals fortunately so if everything shows up -- I might end up a wash (re-drill vs adapters).

Tire were just ordered, was doing some more homework before I pulled the trigger. 285-30-24 Pirelli.

Thanks for the wisdom on the tires, I re-checked my fitment and I really have no extra room for a taller tire with my drop.

I have a feeling handling will be awesome... these 24's are LIGHT=)

Look what came already, tire rack is FAST:

So something came up (again). Special lug locks are in, TPMS and special lug nuts come in today. Only thing that is left is custom adapters and... car to come back to me from Mr. SLAMMING45.

He's working on something special that'll take 2-3 weeks...
 
It should look pretty good when it's all said and done Ed.. Was going to ask Joe to paint my tails, but looks like he's busy now.
