Hi,
I have 265/75/R16 tyres on Discovery 1 steel rims on my Defender 90. I have a problem where the tyres rub when on full lock against the steering stops, i think that is what they are called, I have checked they are fully wound in, so have the turning circle of a battleship. I have spoken with a local Land rover garage they say that they are rubbing as the tyres are on Disco rims something to do with the offset is this true or a load of tosh and he is just trying to sell me new wheels?? What do you reckon???
 
not arguing about how pretty they look! just want to know if i need to buy new wheels or if they are talking out of there arse.
 
jack up on stands ,wheel chocks, adjust lock stops out make sure they push end on tothe stop else they willl bend. if still no good wheel spacers if your only talking a bit or wheels/tyres
I had to extend my lock stop bolts and make brakets off axle mounts to stop rubbing

some people must be really board to put f**k wit answers ,If all the topics have been coverd before and your tied of it ,take up anouther hoby,or turn the telly on , or talk to your wife (maybe not the last one) :dance:
