Brake drums??

I have an x reg 3 door freelander. The wheels that came with the car were steel ones but it came with some alloys. I changed the wheels over some time ago and scrapped the steel wheels only to find out the 16 inch freelander 5 spoke wheels pressed on the drums causing them to bind (obviously the wrong wheels for the year of car) Doesa anyone know if a different drum is available to fit my car? The drums that it has on are recessed where the studs are. I know It isn't ideal but I have got around it so far by using 2 x 1.5mm thick washers on each stud, this gives it enough clearance butr would sooner get it sorted. Alternatively acheap supply of steel wheels?

I think yu are looking at this problem from the wrong direction. try looking for a new motor for yo wheels - preferably a deepender or a disco.

The brakes were upsized around 2001/02 ???

There are size differences in the alloys interior, even though they are the same design.

Your local stealer will have correct part numbers.

There is definitely an issue with different alloy wheels across model years. However, where are you based, because my good friend and colleague, roberth has a set of steel wheels which are just taking up space, and I'm sure he'd be only to happy for you to pick them up from Sheerness.
Let me know if you are interested
