Hi. Just purchased a Freelander 2 with 235 55 r19 tyres. There is no spare wheel. Would an 18in space saving wheel be ok to use as a spare as I cannot source a space saving 19in wheel. Thanks

No it wouldn't unless the wheel has a tyre with a size to give you the same rolling diameter as the tyre fitted to your 19inch wheel, and then it won't be a "space saver". As they have skinny tyres, find a 19 inch steel wheel if possible or an 18 inch with tyre to suit.
The Honda company cars at work don't come with any spare wheels so we use a15 inch steel with a tyre to suit to match standard 16 inch alloy road wheels fitted. Like a space saver it's emergency use only.
When the company cars are replaced we keep the 15inch wheel to use in the replacement.

I think Freelander 2 uses a standard space saver wheel, as in one size fits all, therefore it might be 18” or even17”, but tyre profile will give an approximate diameter similar to full size wheel. Remember there will be a max speed imposed with space saver fitted.

I know they just swapped the space saver from my old vehicle to the new, old one on 18”,new one on 20”, but rolling radius is almost identical because of different tyre profile
