sixfeetofmud Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Just switched to a set of 285/75 x 16 bfgs and ome +2 hd suspension . when I now take tight corners the back side of my tires are rubbing on my radius arms . I'm pretty certain wheel spacers will fix the issue. Thoughts ? 97 110 300tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Or you could adjust the steering stop bolts one one each hub it contacts the axle where the swivel bolts on. Undo the lock nut whined it out a bit then check when happy tighten the lock nut. You want about 5mm clearance and remember the bolt you adjust moves the opposite wheel.

landroversforever Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Adjusting the lock stops will stop it rubbing but obviously increase the turning circle. Spacers will help the issue but depending on the wheels you use and tyres, you may find you need wider arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco-Ron Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Probably need wider arches with 285's already! Adjust the steering stops. ..it's free and won't need to tell your insurance company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixfeetofmud Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Adjusted the steering stops . thanks a lot guys ! Works great now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Depending on the wheels you have, it is worth checking the inside of the rear tyres, as my 265s scuff the top of the spring hangers slightly under severe articulation.
