Been thinking about tyres recently again myself.
Research suggests the BIGGEST you can fit are 235/70/16's without any mods.
Though it depends what engine you've got. An unmodified K series and the biggest i'd fit is 215/70/16 as it doesn't need as much power to shift them.

The Freelander Sport has 235/50 R18's on. With only 110bhp on a TD4 and raised suspension on the rest of the Freelander range - this is completely pointless to be honest. (Having 50 profile tyres).
They look good in the city, but are very costly to replace the tyres. If considering occasionally going off-road best going with 17'' BBS wheels for looks or the usual 16'' which are far cheaper and can fit more off-road type tyres.

Really?...you can put tyres up to 235 wide on a standard set up Td4 (with Freedom 16" wheels)...without the need for spacers? That would be superb. Without sounding terribly dull is it known if 215/75/16's would fit - for additional ground clearence (for the avoidance of doubt, yes, I do understand the engineering priciple of corner loaded weight and the effects of increased wheel diameter on the engine/gearbox/drivetrain)

215/75/16's should fit. They're slightly smaller in diameter than 235/70/16's.

Tis a good job but not quite to my taste. The body sits a bit too high for my liking. I know it'd be hard to achieve but if the body hid the blue chassis, it would look top.

Ok for wading - but not a lot of ground clearance
