Freelander Brake Pads and alloys

Has anyone come across a problem where new pads fitted to a Freelander has
caused the calipers to interfere with the inside edge of the wheel ?

OEM alloys (sort of mini deep dish) and supposedly OEM pads.

Yes, this L/Rover would have been fitted as standard with steel wheels, we
had one of our customers in a few months ago for new discs and pads, fitted
them and the wheels would not turn, he phoned the agent where he got it from
and explained this andthey paid for us to fit a new set of 16" alloys and
tyres, from memory his car was about 3 or 4 years old.
You will also se that the rear alloys will not fit flat on the rear drum.
If you need any more info phone us and ask for Dean, as he did this job for
the customer. www.ajstyres.co.uk

P.S. We have still got NEW 16" alloy wheels and tyres for the Freelanders.
Regards
Andy.

Thanks for that, the Freelander originally came from the dealer that fitted the
pads with it's alloys, all Land Rover parts and all main dealer fitted so it
will be down to them to replace the damaged wheels, I just wanted to find out if
others had come across the same problem.
