i have 19" shadows fitted(see my gallery) and i dont think it is bumpy although i have never driven our FL2 with standard wheels , I am used to a hard ride in sports cars that i have had or do still own,My Teggy Type R was a really firm ride as you wiould expect,and our Saab aero High output turbo convertable is also a firm drive with scuttle shake thrown in for good measure,so the freelander 2 is a joy to drive very smooth IMO

I like the side tubes on that one as they have steps on them too

As you say, they look like the "standard, off the shelf, fit any car tubes with built in steps". Many of the Boy'o off-roader's here (seen em on xtailers, smitsabushys & even mbw xxx's) seem to fit them, probably cos they are cheap 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

That's not quite the look I'm going for.... Anyways, it seems to be pretty hard to find 22" rims that fit. Or better yet it's the tyres that seem to be the problem. We'll see, I'm working on it. The world is yours, get on your grind and get it! |

Yeah the combination is little pricey and those rims are not exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help though, keep the ideas coming if you some. I'm running out of mine Actually all I need to know at this point is do 285 tyres fit in LR2? Brian? You got 275's, is adding 5mm on each side too much? The world is yours, get on your grind and get it! |
