    Where / what wheel spacers for D110

    I recently put on bigger (265) tyres onto my Defender 110 300tdi. There is rubbing at full lock and am thinking about putting in some spacers. wanted to check here if anyone had recommendations on which ones ?

    thought about a lift but I doubt that'll rectify the rubbing issue.

    I suppose you don't want to know they aren't legal.

    They're not just rubbing on the radius arms? If so, adjusting the lock stops will sort that out.

    Also,

    1http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Wheels_&_Tyres.pdf

    Bugger, due to issues posting the PDF above, I have added a 1 before the http, delete the 1 then go to the website, not sure what causes it to play up, maybe someone with more internet knowledge than me could fix it so the PDF shows up properly here....?

    Section 2.5.

    This may apply to your vehicle....

    The laws/regulations in N.Z. Are a lot simpler and easier to navigate than the current Australian laws/regulations.

    Interesting to me that they allow mechanical beadlocks on rims.

    Regards,
    Mike.

    I not sure what wheels you are using , I put 265X75 16 ON Disco steel rims and they rubbed the spring hanger at the top , rubbing the inside of the tyre , That was on a 110 County , So I ended up buying 20mm offset rims , That fixed my problem , plus look at front wheel stops . This also kept It legal just inside wheel arches !!.. Jim ..

    If you decide to change your rims anything between positive 15 and negative 25 will fix rubbing issues and improve the turning circle.

    Im unsure about which spacers are good as not many in Oz use them but i would want at least 20mm thick ones.

    Cheers
    Michael.

    thanks all - i'll probably just adjust the stops and deal w/ the reduced turning circle. it was really just the first couple days of driving it getting used to the new tyres, not as annoying as I first thought. they're 265/75 muds on boost alloys.
