Hi
I've just bought some 265-75-16 turbo's and sourced some disco free style alloys 16" I've read that they catch on the arms. I have disco axles fitted will this make any difference to them fouling or hopefully not fouling?

They will rub and your turning circle will be pretty poor. A set of 30mm spacers will make all the difference (wheels will look much better too).

I was looking at some spacers but the general consensus is that I'll need a box of wheels bearings ordering. What would be better steel modulars?

I have had spacers for 3 years and have only worn one bearing so far (i have no idea how old it was).

Cheers reiny I was a bit sceptical about the rate of wear tbh

Adjust your lock stops to prevent rubbing and either put up with the turning circle or fit spacers, I don't think you need to go as big as 30mm, 15mm would probably do the job with 265 tyres.

I've got freestyles and 265s on mine, if you adjust the lock stops to make them fit the turning circle is terrible. I have 30mm spacers on and so far they have been fine.
