Trouble fitting wheels

Ditto12 · Jan 20, 2013

Having trouble fitting alloys from a r reg freelander to a td4on 03 any advice would be a great help

The wheel offset was changed at some point (around 2001?) from ET36 (i think) to ET45 - so older wheels will not fit a newer freelander (unless you use some spacers to clear the larger brakes).

wont fit with out spacers, they upgraded the brakes to larger size on 2001/2 onwards

IMHO - sell them and buy newer wheels is the best option.

Thanks

What size spacer would I need for the front/ back

booboodag · Jan 20, 2013

5mm will be enough to clear, but remember you will need it inform the insurance company as if you have an incident, they will say its a modification.

probably catching on calipers. if I remember about 2000 ish maybe later they fitted larger calipers. also the freelander has a unique pcd etc. plenty of threads on here about which years fit each other.

Ok thanks

Will the 5mmspacer be ok on the front as well

cox325 · Jan 20, 2013

you'll need then on all four corners I expect
