hub sizes

now then all. recently bought an 04 reg freelander, got a set of alloys 4 it with some offroad tyres on but they have come of a daihatsu sportrac. the stud pattern is differnent size, being more spaced out on the new wheels.i have been told i can get a set of addaptors/spacers to solve this, has anyone had any experiance or had this problem themselves.thanks
will

are you easily offended Will ?

no spacers, no adaptors, dont even consider it.

at least he posted in the correct forum, Sean.

:welcome:

can you get the tyres swopped onto freelander wheels?
It maybe the cheaper/safer option

yea i bought em on 15" with the intention of putting em on my 15" wheels.why is it such a bad idea using adapters and the like then, no u wont offend me sean, esp with a squashed up vehicle like a deffender

least i tried unlike most of the others, who cry when someone calls there freelander

Will, like most other have have said, due to the way the Viscous Coupling works if you attempted to put spacer's on you would screw the IRD. However the wife has a TD4 and I drive a defender and whilst off road i would win hands down, I you drive a reliable hippo they can surprise you in what they can do.

thanks for that, just done my research in what you said and the ird aint something that wants putting at risk. i guess the damage would occurs because of the weight distribution, is that correct? am sure you defender boys would win hands down but the bull noes is perfect for my job.
gonna put the tyres on my rims or buy some new steelys if they're too wide.
