30x9.5R15 to a 2003 Freelander?
I think the size in English/Euro is 241/75/15

The standard 215-65-16 work out at around 27-8.5-16 so they might be a bit of a squeeze?

I've got 225/75/16 on mine, two inch lift and bigger offset needed tho!

That's a 'flotation' size which is usually fitted to a 7.5J rim giving a tyre width of 251mm

It would have a nominal width of 241mm on a 6.5J rim.

As well as being overly wide even at 241 it's just too high overall.

It's about 3" bigger in diameter than the usual Freelander tyre.

You'll definitely need spacers to clear the spring cups on the front and perhaps the rears too.

I think this is just a tad too much.

Acceleration will be greatly reduced.

Your speedo will be wildy inaccurate too - difficult to say by exactly how much but I would expect that when the speedo was reading 60mph your true speed might be around 70ish.

You might also even have to do a bit of work with the tinsnips on the wheel-arches.

Overall I don't think these tyres are a good idea.

Singvogel.

Thanks for all your replies
It was just a bit of wishful thinking really my natural tight wallet and to much time trawling ebay

Buy normal size tyres. If you need to replace one then yer got a betterer chance of finding one.
