Hi a bit new to landyzone so be gentle, weve just fitted insa turbo special tracks 265/75/R16's to our 90 and their catching on the radius arms at full lock and was i wondering whats the best way around this problem. As for a short term fix weve wound out the steering stops on the axle!??

We have just bought a 200tdi discovery engine which we have fitted to our defender and have just rebuilt it plus added a new turbo. weve been told that a big intercooler will improve performance dramatically is this true?

There's only 2 choices really with big tyres, change the steering stops (as you have) or get some spacers which tend to send you through streering joints and bearings a bit quicker. Or just live with the grinding noise at full lock!

Probably. Plus putting spacers on adds extra leverage to the hubs and can cause allsorts of problems. Do a search there's lots of threads on what needs doing to fit larger tyres.
