Thread: Tyres rubbing inside guards - 130

front or rear rubbing? My 130 has the HCPU tray the 285s i run dont come close, but the fronts catch the bottom lip of the flares on bumps with a bit of turn on the steering, only enough to make a noise and not cause any damage, this is with standard height springs. BTW my 285s are MTZs and i have messured them up against some other 285s are they are much larger and wider for some reason, they stand just as tall as my 255s which are supposed to be 1/2in taller but alot wider.

why dont you stick your ugly big head under the truck and see if you can see the shiny bits?



you wont be guessing then ....

1. Obviously not enough
2. Bigger tyres making contact with the body somewhere
3. Fit smaller tyres, fit body lift kit, fit bigger offset wheels, spend $$$

Oh, front tyres.

Inc - what shiny bits? It's probably the flares.

Scouse:
1. You think?

3. No, Definitely no, no, heck no.

Hi Vlad, what wheels have you got on, remember the 130's are supposed to have a 30mm greater offset than normal Defender rims.

I've been running 255/85's on the HD rims for years (three sets of tyres now) and don't have any rubbing problems
