What is the off set that you have for these wheels and did u install the tpms on this wheels from your original wheels? Did u have to use spacers? LR2 HSE |

Been thinking of going with the AT2 for my next set of tires on my LR2. Can I have someone confirm that the 255/55-18 size will work on our vehicles. Spacers needed? Or is it a straight replacement.

55 profile on 18 rims rim will make your speedo run too fast, ideally you need 60 series. |

Only a .54% reduction so not that much. John

I have AT2's on my Trooper, and they have been terrific for Fields and Snow.

I was able to confirm from other forum members that the General Grabber AT2 in the 255/60-18 size will fit the LR2 (one member mentioned that at extreme angles of off road front axle articulation and steering the tire will rub a little but not in normal everyday use). That tire is "taller" than the original 235/60-18 tire size by about 1 inch and wider by 1.2 inches but the 255/60 will still clear the space between the sidewall and the rear shock absorber tube.

Did you have to use spigot rings for these? My understanding were that Volvo Hubs were larger than the freelanders? Also what rim width and offset are they? I think they look fantastic!! |

This looks great! i have been thinking of fitting 16 inch wheels against my 17inch in order to be able to have a higher side wall. This way one can deflate them more when driving in sandy conditions as i do a fair bit of dune driving. I have also been thinking of going to 245/70r17. Will probably investagate the 16 inch more when i need to replace my current rubber. I am running on goodyear wranglers atsa which is a good allrounder and not noisy at all on the highway.

I Have been running 275\45\20 on my FL2 now for 2 summers, but now I want to go the other way........I know it has been talked about many times here, but can I run 16" on my HSE TD4 2007?

I am currently running on the standard 235/65/17 on goodyear wrangler atsa allterrain tyres. I do a fair bit of sand driving and thus also wanted to fit 16 ich mags in order to deflate tyres more. I have tried freelander 1 16's but the wheel pcd is not the same. I think that a volvo 16 inch might fit but have not done the excersize- due to the expense i am thinking to rather go to 245/75/17 tyres than changing rims too. Goodyear makes a a/t tyre for the Jeep Wrangler in this size which should lift your clearence quite a bit. In your case you will have to get another rim altogether thus you might as well try a 16inch. When i tried the freelander 1 16inch rims it looks that the rim will fit over the caliper thus i am sure that if you can get a rim with the right pcd it should fit. Have you run you 275's on spacers in order to clear? |
