2008 Vogue wheels

C8EFF · Apr 25, 2017

Hi All, I've owned my Vogue for three weeks and have only just noticed that I have different wheels on each side! All wheels are Autobiography style but nearside are dished or offset, while offside are more flat in design.
All wheel/tyre sizes are the same. My question is should the offset wheels be on the rear axle and the flatter wheels go to the front or should these have not been mixed in the first place. Thanks for any help on this.

This is a new one to me but I admit it gave me the best laugh I'm likely to get this week - sorry

For what it's worth I'd say the latter scenario.

I would assume that both axles are the same length therefore the offset on all 4 wheels should be the same. If the axles were different widths then all range rovers would have different wheels front and back (or so I would have thought)
I'm fairly sure the autobiography wouldn't have a different axle configuration.

Does it state the offset of the wheels in RAVE?? Not at my laptop so can't check.

OK, Managed to open RAVE From dropbox on my phone.
Front track 1540mm rear track, 1530mm so only 10mm difference between the two.
How much is the offset difference on the wheels?

That sounds very odd.

Sure the former owner didn't curb two of the wheels and replaced them by cheap copies bought on eBay/

Thanks for any comments, can you tell from the above pictures?

I can see less wheel bolts in pic 2.....

The centre of the second wheel looks a lot more concave than the first.

How odd. I've got to admit it's not something I've paid attention to. I await the answer with interest..

Hi, they're all there, it's just the offset hiding them. Perhaps camera agle doesn't help.

That's my concern. Nearside are offset while offside are flat. I think for now I'll put the offset to the rear and the flatter wheels to the front.

Shimsteriom · Apr 26, 2017

Do the different wheels actually have a different offset, or is it just a different dezine? (overuse of the word different!! )

myfirstl322 · Apr 26, 2017

I didn't mean less wheel bolts per say, just less stick out.
As someone touched upon, aftermarket V genuine.

As I'd mutter to myself if Julian Clary bumped into me, Bummer.

I take it that the offset is different by the look of the wheel, unsure of how to check.

If you've currently got one of each wheel on the same side, have a look from the front or back of the car along the side and see if one wheel sticks further than the other.

C8EFF · Apr 26, 2017

All four wheels are stamped up Range Rover and so I suspect they are genuine.

Aha, it will have to be tomorrow now as pitch black and hissing down here.

OK, the concave wheel is about 1" proud of the flatter wheel, also supported by the pictures above - the concave wheel clears the front caliper by 1"+ while the flatter wheel runs about 1/4" away from the caliper.
