Freelander 1 Tyre size

On my freelander 1 my 17"wheels what is largest grabber general tyre I can use without any problems
Thanks

If they are standard offset wheels I think the conclusion is 225 65 17. Many threads cover this. I am about to fit the above so hope they work!! Clearance to strut spring cup is the issue. Also, at the front the strut arm to track rod end.

Thanks yes standard wheels
Do you think I can get away with 225/70/17?

Speedo will lie to you. Only way to find out is friendly tyre fitter and sale or return one tyre. Take and try it!

OK Andy thankyou

No. Not on standard wheels, suspension or hubs.

The largest practical tyre diameter is 28.6" in diameter, on a 225 section. This will fit on the standard wheel, and "just" fit the suspension/ body.

A 225/70/17 is going to be around 29.4" in diameter, so well above the maximum standard size.

Going larger than 225/65/17 will require a suspension lift, hub spacers and possibly trimming of the arches too. The speedometer is also calibrated for a 28.6" tyre, so going larger will make that inaccurate, and could well affect the acceleration of the vehicle.

There you have it!! All details without the work. Good stuff......

Thankyou nodge68

Would this set up work with no issues
235/70/16

I doubt it, as those would be 29" in diameter, which is 1/2" larger than what's considered the maximum of 28.6".
