Upgrades for the 'Hippo'

<< < (3/5) > >>

muddyhippo:
Hi LlaniGraham & 666George,
Cheers for the advice regarding a snorkel, I now understand why they are there, and why they are primarily for specific models and conditions. 
Well, at least that will save me some Land Rover spending vouchers (£20 notes) - I think i will concentrate on the mods mentioned before, and possibly look into some new steel wheels & AT tyres.
I'm currently running standard Freelander steels with Toyo Open Country 195 X 15 AT's.
Could anyone point me in the right direction with wheels sizes/tyre sizes?  I would prefer to go with those black modular steels I see advertised everywhere, but what size do I need, and can I go up in tyre size?
Once again, cheers for the advice - free, genuine and unbiased, what more could you want? THANKS!!!
All the best,
Karl

You'll struggle to get a set of modulars for a freelander, your better off sticking with the LR steels you currently have.

If you fit a set of 215/80/15's these will fill your arches nicely, as general rule 28.5" is the max diameter you can go without major mods. If your fitting a Bearmach lift kit, then you could probably strech to 29+, but this may put a strain on the drivetrain.

I'm sure G3ORGE will correct me if i'm wrong, but i think thats correct stats.

 :lol:

You will not get modulars with a Freelander PCD - unfortunately it is different to every other Landrover  :sad:

You are better off with your 15" steels or try and get hold of a cheap set of 16" alloys and fit a larger dia tyre.

Phil is spot on with his sizes - and to help out here are a few others with respective diameters



I have 205.80.16 AT on 16" alloys and it is about the limit without a lift kit.

If you are looking for wheels, the Jeep Wrangler has the same PCD.

NO IT DOESN'T, it is a couple of mill bigger and can easily damage the FL wheel studs.
