All I know is that from much reading and reasearch etc, that you dont want mess around with the rolling circumference of a Freelander. For that reason, when I wanted to do the same as you, I bought some 16" wheels from a lower spec model, but the same year, and then bought some General Grabber...

Its the tyres. I just changed mine from Synchrones to general Grabber AT2s and the difference is utterly amazing. It will barely loose grip unless you REALLY try.

I reckon its your ABS and its doing what it should. On snow (or ice) there is often zero grip, so the ABS is activated immediately, resulting in the hard pedal and no stopping. All ABS does is allow you to steer when stamping on the brakes and in actual fact stopping distances are longer...

Plus, there are loads of 16" AT/MT tyres around, so you could use your current wheels.

Just check they fit first-I am led to believe that post 2001 cars need different wheels to the pre 2001s. I had to search for some 16"s for my 2005, and only the later wheels fitted correctly. Having said all that, I was after 16" alloys, not steels. Phil

I just removed my 17" from my 2005 HSE and put on some 16" wheels with 215/65/16 on. Seem to be OK.

I had a fixed TB fitted, no problems.

Bum is OK, just my belly!!! Ah well, will just live with it!

Well thats always a good idea, but unless I am doing something wrong, when the weight comes off, I usually stay the same height? ;)

I quite like the Freelander, I think its a great car. Except for one thing..... I am not particulaly tall (5'11) but have quite a long body and am quite fat, and find the seat is way too high. My head touches the roof and I feel like I am sitting on it rather than in it. I would like to adopt...

Not sure its a simple as that. I just bought some 16 wheels from a 2006 Freelander, and they dont have the dimples.

Thanks all-thats great.

Hi all. I have been offered wheels that have the part number below....but whenever I put it into a LR parts search box nothing comes up! Can someone tell me either the details or point me in the direction of a parts number search site that works? (I know thw part number is right, I wrote it down...

Hi Dazz How did you go on with the spacers? I have a 2005 and can get a set of 2000 wheels-do the spacers defo get round the problem? Cheers Phil

Dont bother-I have used the search button and found the answer :doh: Sorry!

Sorry for a dull question again..... Do freelander 2 wheels fit a 2005 Freelander 1?

Thanks for the reply! How does it behave on road with the new tyres on? The Mrs needs to be able to use it for work every day, which is 17 miles each way. And I also assume that you have had no other issues? Basically I will be driving across muddy fields, sometimes towing a trailer as...

Lol, I know they are poo poohed, but its the only 4x4 she would agree to drive, and its better than a Peugeot 206...!!!!

Hi All, Just joined-see my " hello" thread :D I have a question about wheels, so I thought this topic was the best place. The car has 225/55/17 Michekins, on, but i want some ATs, and they not really available in that size, as I am sure you know. If I were to buy a set of 15" wheels, what...
