Can anyone tell me how to stop the tyres rubbing on the radius arms? i've adjusted the turn limiting bolts but the heads of the bolts kind of miss the point on the swivel housing edge, they don't seem big enough to do the job and might even be bending. I think a wider headed bolt might do it, are these available? What have others done to avoid this short of putting spacers in.

What wheels have you got? A lot of people fitting bigger tyres use modulars or similar which have a greater offset.

Land Rover Boost Alloys. I should have mentioned that.

they shouldnt rub as the boost's normally have a 235 85 16 tyre which is bigger than yours and even on full lock they dont rub.

Have yu turned the adjusters in the right direction. I've got 235/70/16's on disco alloys and mine rub on full lock. But I is driving a Disco :doh:

Yes, i've spent a lot of time adjusting the bolts, problem is that the heads of the bolts don't quite do the job they should do in time and they kind of miss the edge of the wivel housing when extended far enough to stop the radius arm rub.

Hi Plook.

I have 285/75 R16's on LR Boost alloys on my TD5 DCPU. They did rub on the trailing arms originally but adjusted the stop bolts and they don't catch anymore.

I have the turning circle of a QEII but they don't rub!

you posh tart

bigwill · Feb 12, 2010

how bout avoiding full lock? lol

plook · Feb 12, 2010

If i could get a wider headed bolt it would work, but at the moment the bolt head misses the edge where it is supposed to brake the turn.

weld plate or washer either way my 265 no rubbing-your offset part of problem

You sure? them's standard size...

fanatic · Feb 12, 2010

265/75/16 special tracks=no issue

plook · Feb 12, 2010

Can you explain the 'offset' for me.

fanatic · Feb 12, 2010

simply the width of rim v the point the hub bolts to rim.

B3aker · Feb 12, 2010

No rubbing with 255/85 R16's on mine on modulars

plook · Feb 12, 2010

What can i do to resolve it? The rub is driving me nuts.
