Stock 20" Wheels Question

Can someone confirm whether the optional 20" wheels are 20x8.5 or 20x9 . I'm searching for a set but keep running into the 2 sizes and I'm not sure which is the true OEM. Thanks in advance.

Tire rack should show you OE size and tires, did you give that a shot?

OEM 20" wheels are 20x8.5. You can see it in your owner's manual on page 437. On the other hand - you can get 20x9 or even 20x10 with correct offset.

Thanks guys! I purchased used and 22" wheels were already on it and they will not pass state inspection. No owners manual except for on the on board vehicle system... Can't wait to get the OEM wheels so I can get that butter smooth ride!! Thanks again.

22s are pretty loud and hard. Test drove a few new Range Rovers with 22s prior to getting the GL and the ride was definitely compromised. But they looked damned good!

18s are ideal for off roading as well. And definitely a huge range of tire choices. 21s and 22s are slim pickings at almost $375 to $500 a piece! Eek.
