    16" tyre recommendation?

    205 80 16 will increase your speedo by approx 10% ....... as this is factory calibrated at approx 10% under you end up with it fairly accurate..... same goes for mpg..... accurate mileage will allow you to work out accurate MPG not the mickey mouse figures that LR quote to sell motors

    Freelander suspension lift?

    you gotta remove struts to fit a lift kit so not much difference in job......plenty of used standard suspension available new or used.....not as many sport available used so normally sell at bertter price.....if you do job yorself with used parts you should end up quids in

    20mm wheel spacers ???

    Dont know but why...plenty of newer one available and you can probably pick up a set of wheels easier and cheaper than spacers Easy way to find out is make a cheap spacer (Steel wheel nuts are probably about 20mm) and try it
