Hi folks, might have been covered before but......
Currently have 17 inch alloys on my Freelander with 225x55x17 tyres and managed to find some 15inch steel wheels with 195x80x15 winter tyres. The question is will they fit with no modification?
 
Possibly not, if its a TD4, something to do with the size of the indentation on the rear break drums. Correct me if I'm wrong

if yours is pre 2000ish all wheels will fit

if it's later only later wheels will fit


this applies to the alloys, although i'm not sure if it applies to steels
 
It also depends on its GVW.

According to Land Rover, as my GVW is 2505kg I can't fit 15" wheels.

I do however have an '06 HSE TD4 auto.

The earlier ones which are I think are 2080 GVW can use 15" wheels. Look at the plate by the drivers door (or is it the front passenger door.

How can you tell it's an EU4, and not an EU2/EU3, as GVW's for both are in the 06MY handbook:confused:

As far as I'm aware the UK didn't get the EU 4 engine. If it had I would have expected the CO2's to be less... £475 for road tax was a big surprise!!!
 
The higher GVW is for EU4

So you are saying my vehicle is an EU4 engine? The plate and V5c state 2505kg....

But it has the same CO2 as a EU3 engine i.e. cr*p.

I asked Land Rover and they said it wasn't. I am confused.
 
Does the EU number refer to the engine?
In the handbook for a 2006MY it gives two columns for axle/gvw depending on EU2/EU3 or EU4, but doesn't say what the EU numbers mean.
TOPIx - TOPIx
Intresting that even though the GVW is nearly 500kg higher, the GTW remains the same at 4080kg, potential maximum trailer weight of just over 1500kg.
That is from the handbook though, not the plate on the vehicle.
