Hi chaps.

Just a quick one. I've got a freelander 1 sport with 235/50/18's on it. I have a friend whos giving me for free some 17 inch wheels with brand new all terrain tyres on them as he's breaking his landrover freelander petrol.

Am I going to be able to just Change the wheels problem free, we weren't sure whether the fact that the wheels maybe a different size will affect the 4 wheel drive system or hearing or anything like that? I have got an exact tyre size for the new ones yet as he's not with the vehicle at the moment but a few cm increase or decrease in overall wheel size won't affect anything will it?

Thanks in advance

No you should not get any problems,as they are straight off another Freelander!!;):)
 
Cool, thanks mate. I know it seemed a bit daft but I wasn't sure if the set up with the 4 wheel drive system etc was different with diesels and petrols and if different wheels would affect it because I noticed there are 3 different rim sizes with freelanders. Best be safe lol.

Thanks again bud
