Would anyone know if a Freelander 2 17" alloy wheel would fit an Evoque for use as an emergency full size spare?

Yes they will fit ok. Slight difference in the offset 45 v 50 but will be fine as a get you home spare |

Ive measured the FL2 wheel and its inner tyre wall is 5mm further in than the Evoque wheel so its 5mm closer to the strut upright but theres around 15mm clearance at present so Im assuming the wheel will still be clear, but I will do a trail fit tomorrow as the wheels are coming off to fit mudflaps anyway.

Bear in mind that that gap will change at extremes of articulation.

Tried the FL2 17" alloy wheel on the Evoque to use as an emergency get me home only spare, it does fit both front and rear no spacers needed at least 10mm clearance at its closest fouling point, so its a good un, fits in the boot well now Ive removed the polystyrene stowage tray with plenty of room around it for the wheel brace, jack and a couple of wheel chocks, only thing is the wheel is slightly higher than the boot floor level when in about an 1" or so so the floor panel will no longer fit in flush, I left it out and I have a cargo floor mat/tray which sits over the wheel, not ideal but it doesnt affect the luggage capacity any really and Id sooner have this than a thin space saver or the liquid repair kit.
