Title: wheels and tyres
Post by: locknut on April 18, 2010, 16:33:59

I've just got a set of freestyle alloys off a discovery and was wondering if the insa turbo special track tyres size 285/75R16 would fit ok, my Defender has a 2ins lift...

They will rub on the radius arms.

I have 33 x 10.50/15 on at the moment, i had to alter the stearing lock on them to stop them rubbing so might have to do the same.

Or would wheel spacers stop the wheels from rubbing on the radius arms ?

Wheel spacers will work not cheap though.
