Oh Bollix!
Apparently 16" wheels off a 99 or 00 Freelander won't fit over the brakes on an 02 Freelander
I knew the 15" wheels wouldn't fit but it never occurred the 16" wheels won't fit either. There is no way they'll fit without wheel spacers so now trying to decide whether to go that way or just look for the correct wheels and get the tyres swapped over.
Edit. I just checked the price of spacers and I think swapping the tyres over onto the correct wheels will be a fraction of the price.
Grrrrrrrrrr
That's correct Ali. I thought you knew that, which is why the didn't say anything.
You can get away with some shim spacers. Those would be fine. Maybe with longer studs for extra security.
The offset is different on the earlier 16s too. But again, shim spacers will correct that too.
