I don't think the wheel size is your issue. I reckon it's more to do with your tyres. Maybe consider a tyre with a more aggressive tread pattern on them.

These are the chaps (not actual photo): They've got various tyres on them unfortunately, but they're all 'road' tyres, as opposed to AT. I bought them about 6 months ago - they came off a '53 plate Freelander - with the intention of fitting a set of AT tyres, but never really got my...

If you were willing to sort out the postage aspect yourself, i.e. arrange a courier pick-up, I'd sell you my spare set (x5 wheels) for 150 squid :)

A nice set of 16" 5-spoke alloys, of which I currently have spare set going in my garage! :D

So the wheels without dimples are pre-2001?

Jeezo, not really straightforward this, is it?! :doh: So, I called my local LR dealer and, if I'm honest, the guy I spoke to in the parts department didn't fill me with confidence! After giving him the part number he said "They should be okay", but wasn't really 100% convincing in my eyes. He...

Okay, so I've got the following part number on my 16's: RRC002960XXX Does that tie in with the part number you got ok'd by any chance?

Not sure mate - will check tomorrow (can't be arsed heading out into the cold, dark garage tonight! :o:D) Like I said, the fact they came off a 2003 FL means, from what I understand anyway (?), that they should be okay. Fingers crossed!

So, are you saying that the wheels that do not have the dimples/holes definitely won't fit? I have a set of 16" wheels with no dimples/holes that came off a 2003 Freelander, with a view to fitting to my 2005 TD4 (dropping from 17" to fit AT tyres). I tried them on today - without driving...

Think 17's are too big matey and I think 16's are probably the biggest you'll get. I bought a second hand set of 16's for about £130 on Guntree and are sitting ready for a set of AT2's or similar to be fitted soon (probably punt the 17's after that).

Oofft, that ain't right! I get between 450-470 miles out of my tank (manual TD4).

Jesus, that's scandalous! I'd be hunting out my nearest independent LR specialist very quickly! Can't stand dealers - a complete rip-off IMO :mad:

Land Rover specialist I use in Edinburgh - great service: Land Rover Range Rover Edinburgh Specialists White's Auto Services

'Alveston Red' I think.

Nice one, thanks mate.
