Rims with a bigger offset - or fit a set of 205x16's.

fit longer trailing arms
or fit a spacer on the existing one

extending the arms stops the rear steer and stops tyres rubbing

my simex dont touch anything on mine, and my shockers are up on the inside of the tub  :?  :-.

the arms are lengthen'd
you could do this yourself really, by putting some big washers between the trailing arm and the bush
afink you need extend them 25mm to stop the rear steer when on droop....but dont hold me to that  :-.

I had a problem with 33x12.50x15 cooper stt catching on the rear of my double cab. ive changed the rims from 8x15 normal offset to 10x15 with -32mm offset. this has made a great difference.
