United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 S Manual Santorini Black

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

As you say, they look like the "standard, off the shelf, fit any car tubes with built in steps". Rolling Eyes
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 Whistle 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

i once came across a after market company offering side tubes with steps in like the ones in the picture,

You could also spec wording to be in the step such as " LAND ROVER" that would illuminate when you get out

They was based in germany, and you can't gauge quality from a photo so i never looked into it further and bought Genuine one Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

That's not quite the look I'm going for.... Laughing 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 Rolling Eyes 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!
