    Range Rover Sport wheels for L322

    I would check that they have the same pcd (stud pattern and diameter) the center bores are the same size if not spigot rings will be needed and you also need to check the offset of your wheels against the sport wheels

You will have...

    Pads must be 1.5mm or thinner and the ministry doesnt issue a calibrated measuring tool so unless his eyes have a inbuilt calibrated measuring device I would like to see it. But a rookie mistake by yourself atleast it didnt fail on anything major.
