I keep looking at second hand alloys of fleabay and i'm starting to get really ****ed of

Every set I look at doesn't state what year car it comes from and those that give you some kind of info always say will not fit later models.

I got a 05 commercial so can anyone tell me if a standard pair of alloys will fit my hippo?

Basically if they have got dimples between the wheel nut holes then they will fit the later model.

I've just got some new wheels (just got to get them powder coated), so will have 6 x triple sport 16" alloys for sale soon, they where fitted to my 2005 td4 before I got wheel spacers. And as they are originally off a V6 they will fit all years. As they had the bigger brakes, their 6jx16 ET46 and have holes between the wheel nut holes.

Hi just a quick question, if you use 5mm spacers are the wheel studs long enough? or do you need extended ones??

cheers

5mm should be fine with the standard nuts
I think people have gone as far as 10mm,
but I wouldn't personally go past 10mm without professional advice,
or £150 for the correct spacers..

Land Rover Freelander Mk1 30mm Aluminium Wheel Spacers (Set of Four) | eBay

Just for example, I have no connection to this seller or any other for these parts
