Can anyone tell me if it is possible to fit 285/75/16 BFG Mud Terrain tyres onto my 2002 90 without them rubbing the inner arches on full lock??
Or are 265/75/16 tyres the largest without modifying/lifting??

It's a standard Defender 90 and hasn't been modified/lifted.

Many thanks gang!

Rubbing the radius arms just needs the steering lock stops adjusting. I'd be more concerned about em hitting the bodywork when the axle moves.

265/75/16 fit without adjustments with wheel spacers and don't rub the body work on mine

I've got some 265/65R18 BFG All Terrains on mine (on 18" Range Rover alloys) but I've also got wheel spacers on. I wouldn't like to go any bigger with the wheels though until I get the lift sorted out as you can see from the pics! Also, if you do fit wheel spacers, I would definitely recommend fitting some wider wheel arches for obvious reasons!

Just got the kumhos on they look the dogs nuts you would get away with another inch or so but the true test will be off road cause there aint much clearance left
