Is your tyre width on the steel same as your 17" alloy?

My alloys have 235/65/17 fitted - don't know why the spare is a 225 unless previous owner cocked up?
Strange how they kept with Goodyears all round and the spare is a Hankook

Thanks folks! Well eBay it is I'm guessing dealer has confirmed I cannot get a full size spare with the dynamic alloy! If I run a different wheel size on the dual carriage wil it not cause stress on the drivetrain/haldex coupling unit  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Hi, i got an 19" alloy from fleabay for my Dynamic( havent got mine yet, turns up Friday) . its same style but is the OE for the HSE which is part silver. Did bid for a Dynamic wheel a while ago, but it went for nearly £300! There were plenty of 19" wheels on not long ago. just got to get a jack now. Roll on Friday.

Mav I will have 19's as standard can I therefore place a 17 as my spare ? A Land Rover dealer advised me to do this today Similary can I select an evoque 20 as a spare without any issues and will it fit in the boot well.....

All the wheels have the same diameter, so you can use any of them for a spare (except 16", which I seem to remember can't be fitted on some models). When the steel spare was supplied, some came with an identical tyre, some with a slightly different size. This is apparently OK. Never heard of the manufacturers fitting a Kumho though.
My steel spare luckily came with a Wrangler the same size as the rest, saving me money when I first had to buy a new set.
Do remember to watch the age of the tyre. If a spare has never been used it could still be getting towards the end of its life. Easy enough to find an explanation of the manufacturers'date codes on the web.

And we have established before that it is not illegal to run different size wheels or tyres together (although I wouldn't do it!

My freelander came with a full size spare 19 diamond cut alloy

The 2013MY model can't take 16" rims as the EPB caliper is too big. Hence the S trim now comes with 17s as standard. In the past LR have provided spares with a lower profile tyre, eg 225 compared to a 235 on the 17" rim... hence a 50mph limit as the 225 is 1cm smaller in diameter. Apparently 2wd Freelanders come on a 225 17" profile as normal.

I have a full size 17" spare which comfortably fits in the spare wheel well even with the sub in place... in theory any size rim/tyre has the same diameter and will fit.

Reading various threads I see some fit Evoque rims. These have a 1cm different offset which will push the wheel out wider on a Freelander.

Pastmaster you are indeed correct, my first Freelander had a steel rim and Wrangler 235/65/17 limited to 50mph and Dealer said it was due to it being a steel rim.

Don't disagree Past master.

Anything that is different about 1 wheel/tyre on a car should warrant a reduced speed eg 50mph. Any spare is better than no spare even if it is of different size/rim or steel/alloy. I would imagine the lawyers at LR would want a sticker on the spare if it is different to prevent any come back after an accident caused due to excessive speed on a different sized spare.

I have seen local cars going around for weeks on a space saver, presumably because the owner can't be bothered to sort it. Scary. Wonder if they drive any slower.

Anyway, the sun is out and the car is dirty. Off to wash it. 2016 BMW X3 30d SE in red

Don't think its to do with the tyre size, more to do with the fixing bolts designed for alloy wheels and the temporary wheel is steel. The alloy wheel bolts on the Freelander have a different face to the ones required for the Steel wheel. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior
