Thread: Tyres Scrubbing on Flex...........

I'm not saying don't change to wheels with the correct backspacing, but this doesn't address the issue of why one wheel is closer to the spring perch than the other.

The first thing I would check is to measure from the chassis rail to the outer edge of the spring perch on both sides.

Now some people have reported their spring perch offset is not equal, if this is found to be the case, then less wheel backspace is the easiest and appropriate fix.

Also measure from the inside of the wheel rim to the chassis rail on both sides (vehicle needs to be sitting level when this is done, i.e. both spring heights equal).

If they are different then the 'A' frame alignment would appear to be out. Try correcting the alignment where the 'A' frame bolts to the cross member, but I'm not sure if the later models have the bolt on brackets.

Yes my defender with a similar setup did the same, 2in and Gwyneth Lewis kit with N73L OME shocks. I kept the boost but put in aluminum billet spacers, yes not legal but neither is rubbing tyres, in the future looking to get some neg offset wheels and 315's
