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 !!!!
