Welcome aboard.
245/70 are a popular use on D1s.
You can adjust the front "lock stops" on the front steering to help stop the tyres rubbing the chassis.Look for bolts on the front swivel housings that strike on a plate on full lock.
Goodluck
Andrew.
PS check out the WA AULROians area in "Interest Groups",us WA people have our own bit of turf there.

With something like BFG A/T, or any other A/T tyre for that matter.
Lock to Lock to that is??

I had this size on a Series 2 Disco....no issues at all. Original alloys with BFG A/T.
