Tractor Boy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am starting to get more into RTV's and would like to get a better turning circle. My 90 has 265 tyres on wolf rims, the steering stops are screwed in tight and I have no issue with rubbing on radius arms. But that got me thinking... I was wondering if I went to 235 or 7.50 tyres how much tighter could I turn if I changed the steering stop bolts to something that would allow me to screw them in more as the bolts have that stepped shoulder. If I had loads more turning circle would that damage the CV joints? Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 You could get some offset rims, though it does put more strain on the bearings. I have 265 kuhmo mud terrains with offset rims and the steering stops are set at 45mm with no rubbing... Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Boy Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi Mike Thanks for the reply. Can I ask where the 45mm is measured? What rims have a better offset than the wolf rims? Sorry I have more questions. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 http://landrover.workshop-manuals.com/defender300tdi/index.php?id=382 Have a look at the link above... the only reason i've adjusted it is because I've got some new rims and the bloke in ATS nearly ripped the tyre off on full lock! You can get modulars rims with an offset of 35ish mm... cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Boy Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Mike Thanks for the link. Perfect, time to grab the spanners! Cheers. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big.Mike Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Lots of wd40 too! It's part of the MOT test to have these correctly adjusted IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
