hi folks can some one please help me brought a y reg 2001 freelander
that had steel wheels on so went and brought me a set of 5 alloys for £100,
but has i put one on the front i noticed it was realy close to the caliper
is there a difference in freelander alloys because i thought they would all fit.

stick up a pic of the alloy , someone will then tell you if it looks like a genuine freelander one.... how close is close does it actually touch the caliper as it rotates.

theres always the possibility youve got a set of aftermarket wheels that dont actually fit... where did you get them from?

or the fact that early model freelander wheels don't fit later model freelander due to a differing offset which causes interference on the front caliper....:doh::doh:

you are unlucky cos most of the x reg would be facelift models so rims should have been right,

yeah so i thought but rims are very close to caliper about 2mm gap between them not going to risk leaving them on ...
