Tyre Size

Hello all

I have done a two inch lift on my freelander and have 16" rims , I was wondering what size tyres I can fit without having to buy wheel spacers, can I fit 225/70/R16's without having to also have to buy wheel spacers.

Many Thanks In Advance.

Hiya,

Yea, i would also like to know the answer to the same question....

Thanks

In short no. Wheel spacers would be required for that size, I run 225 75 16 with 30mm spacers on BFG MT's with no problems, also gives a great lift!

Surley 225/70 R16 are slightly smaller than your 225/75 R16 Sidewall Height: 6.64 in 168.65 mm , the tire wall on the 225/70/R16 are Sidewall Height: 6.20 in 157.48 mm .

I have ordered the 225/70/R16 so I willlet you know in a week or so,I have 30mm spacers to fit if need

The problem will be hitting the springs as tyre width is the same, the diameter is different if you have the spacers i'd go for the bigger tyres.

Had my new BFGoodrich AT fiitted today, 225/70/R16 as I had the spacers Ialsohad those fitted as well landy looks more purposeful with them on, Oh and I have also got 5 General Grabber At2's to get rid off one was the spare so never used and the others 4 have done approx 8K miles so they still have alot of life in them so If anyone is interest the let me know I am looking for about £150 ono for the lot.

I have pm you with the picture's if you havent got them send me your normal email address and i'll try and send them that way.

Thanks

Apart from having the bigger tyres fitted and wheel spacers to my land rover I have now had fitted a snorkel and mantec side sills, got some spotlights still to fit but can not decide whether to fit them.

What with the two inch lift and the mantac sump guard my little projected freelander is nearly at an end and I must say it is definitely looking the part.

imo spots arent needed ... especialy if u have HID headlights... Once i'd fitted HID conversion to the headlamps, spots with 100w bulbs in made very little difference

A few pics would be good, how was the snorkel fitting? been thinking of one for myself.
