That was famous. The Not The Nine O'clock News team did a sketch of it too.

Not been of road yet, that'll be Sunday. Absolutely no issues with noise which quite surprised me if I'm honest. The guy who put the tyres on the rims for me is also the MOT inspector at the same garage. I did take it back when I'd fitted the wheels / spacers for him to take a look at, and he said he'd have no issues with how it is.

Well finally got around to changing the wheels and throwing some 30mm spacers on just for good measure. Freelander came with 225/55/17 on alloys which is pretty much the standard. Managed to get five 15" steels off Ebay and have had them powder coated. Tyres are Maxxis All Terrain at 225/70/15. Now I know we all like pictures so....................
Before and after on the rear
Before and after on the front
After a drive to allow to setlle the ride height's gone up around 20mm
The spacers have made a massive difference to handling too. Didn't actually need them for this tyre size, I just like the look!! Got some caps on the way for the wheel centres they just ain't arrived yet. If anyone knows where I can get some 22mm plastic wheel nut covers that are pretty fooking long I'd love to know !!!!
Pretty Sweet! my 225 65 17s are ready to go. Exactly what spacers did you use? How are they on highways? Do they rub on the panel or trim? Interested changing the look of mine a lil bit.

I don't know the particular brand of the spacers as I bought them secondhand off another user on here (Garboy88), I'm sure he could tell you. Alternatively other members will most likely be able to identify them from the picture.
Modifications wise there was nothing to do simply bolt them on and you're done. No rubbing on any panel or trim (but that would be down to the tyre size really). Massive difference on road handling, it's a lot more stable on cornering especially.
These look identical on eBay but like I say, I bought them secondhand so couldn't be 100% sure !!

I have 225/65R17 all round. I think you will need a lift and 30mm spacers to fit them. Even then on tight turns the rears touch very slightly.

Just look for some m12 wheel nuts on eBay and get full length black.., I've just bought x8 of them so I can attach my steel hub cover to my new modulars..(thread to come with pics)..
