surely if early wheels won't fit later cars (because they are a different size, offset or pitch), then surely the later wheels won't fit an early freelander for the same reason ?

or are you saying that a 99 and an 03 are both classed as early versions ?

A 1998 wheel will fit a 2003 vehicle (stud wise), but will most likely foul on the brake calipers on the front (they were revised post 2000) and the rear hubs were changed too.

It seems crazy, but I have seen alloys from early vehicles that have rubbed / fouled on later models.

The decisive answer is early vehicles (1997 - 2000) can accomodate wheels from 1997 - 2006.

Freelander 2 wheels definately do not fit freelander 1 vehicles!!

Hope this is useful

You will have no problems with this combination. Your wheels will fit all freelander 1's.

It's been covered on here somewhere about wheel studs snapping due to early wheels not seating properly on later cars rear drums.

The only genuine LR 18" alloys that fit the freelander are the 'sport ones'.

Freelander did not come with 19s as standard or as an option.

freelander 18" 'sport' alloys?
