Yes I understand what you mean. What I'm wanting to know and not explained my self properly is what's my limit.
Ones that are on now are 215/85/r16.
Who makes wider alloys and are there issues ? Wanting to put tyres like this on.

Standard Freelander tryes have a diameter of just over 27 inches - those in that pic are at least 32" - probably 33". They simply won't fit in the wheel arches and you ain't going to move the A Pillar. That's before you even start thinking about fouling suspension etc.
If you look at pictures of 'DLanders' with that size of tyre on - they are basically 'monster trucks' where the body is raised above the tyre!
They'll also push the car 20% further for each turn of the engine/wheel - and without low-range - it ain't going to perform very well.

very interesting so is this fully legal todo. I guess the body will come off the chassis?
So is it disco running gear underneath?
Also does this mean for the freelander that if chassis rots you can just plant it on a new one? Same with the body of the freelander body can be repaired etc. Sorry very new to this all

Freelander doesn't have a separate chassis.
So if not separate chassis how they done it. Going to research this
