Hey everyone.

Currently running 285 x 75 R16's. on my 3dr 91 disco and the wheels knock/hit/rub on full lock.

What size spares would you recommend to overcome this? I have had 30mm recommended to me, have just seen you can get 60mm.

Is it a case of bigger is better here, any implications on putting 60mm on instead of 30mm etc?

Current tyres;

I have got 30mm spacers on my D1 with 33x12.5x15 Fedima Scirocco on standard steel wheels.
As my esteemed colleague above says, try winding out the stops first.

Would like to have to full turning circle, also like the idea of it looking a bit wider and meaner :)

Winding out the stops won't reduced the lock anymore than it is at the mo. It just means you won't rub the arm anymore.

Oh really? I thought by doing this it would reduce the turning circle, need to look into it more, always been sketchy around steering gear lol

To be honest I haven't looked at what it rubs on, but just assumed it was the spring column or something.
 
jamie, its me you've messaged on ebay about the spacers. Do you want to bring the disco over and have a look/measure up and if needs be make an offer on the spacers i have?
 
Hey Disco147, small world hey! :)

Yeah that would be me, Mr Flanker yes? :)

Could do chap, not sure if 60mm will be too much for some of the small lanes though as you said in your auction, forgive me for all the questions etc. please feel free to pop me a PM of the ££££ range you are looking for them, so we can at least be on the same page :)
