that is a great reply thanks so do you think tyres 225 70 r 15 would fit then or should i go for the 215 75 r 15 i will get all terrain tyres either way just thinking 225 mite be to wide for a standard freelander

i have always used the trick of wire brush/ wire head on a drill etc get as much as you can off then use some sort of rust converter (Hammerite) kurust (Jenolite ) Rust Remover this is prob the best one the MOD use it on tanks etc so it cant be bad stuff (NVP OMNICOATE) Black Magic these are...
