[Wanted] 20" Wheel (10 Spoke)
I'm conscious that I'm running 20" wheels but poking my head under the car and I'm on a 19" spare wheel. Obviously someone in the car's history has swapped to 20" wheels but left the original spare under the car.
I'd like a matching sized spare wheel, so I'm looking for a single 10 spoke 20" wheel, it is this design:

I believe LR part number VPLAW0003. As long as it is straight and true with no cracks then I don't care for condition as it will be getting refurbed with a new tyre.
Anyone got one?

You do know that providing the 20s & 19s are fitted with the LR correct specced tyre that the rolling radius will be the same (or thereabouts) and safe to run?
Same goes for any other size combinations.
I'm currently running 20s and got a 19" spare.
Though I wouldn't run it on a day to day basis, only as a spare after a puncture.
But if you just want a 20" spare to match what you've already got, then that's fair enough. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Thanks, useful to know. Looks like there's a 1% difference in the rolling circumference which is probably OK for an emergency puncture:

That said, I've got some long journeys planned and would rather (for peace of mind) everything be the same in case I have to drive a few hundred miles (with trailer) after a puncture.
Cheers

You can get that sort of difference between makes and wear of tyres, but I agree for towing some distance I would want the same stiffness tyre on each wheel

255/50 R20 is standard tyre for D4 and that == 255/55 R19 in terms of circumference.
275 isn't standard hence the difference.
I have a set of RR wheels with 275/45 R20 but they ar 9.5J not 8.5J which are 20" D4 rims.
Maybe I am wrong but I would have thought 275 were too wide for 8.5J...In today's world, if you contribute something, you don't contribute enough. If you contribute nothing, you receive everything.

They’re not too wide they’re fine, loads of people on here running 275/45/20.
Anyway, back to the search for a single alloy...

Yes, 8.5J is the minimum I discovered since. So it it i good enough for ETRTO then all good as long as you tell your insurance company
Everyday is a school day. Opens up more tyre choices for me - cheers.
