    Where does 265/65/16 rub on std D2a?

    As per title above, and I know that they do, but can some kind person please tell me where (how much) 265/65/16 would rub on a D2a with standard suspension heights/no body lift?

    They'll reduce your turning circle and rub on the radius arms.
    Possibly the lip of the guards will touch when the suspension is compressed.

    Offset wheels would prevent the rubbing on the radius arms and maintain the turning circle but would increase the guard rubbing on suspension compression.

    Adjusting the steering stops would prevent the rubbing on the radius arms but you'll have the reduced turning circle.

    Thanks. I should have added I've got the classic 8 x 16 rims.
    No rubbing in back suspension?

    Thanks, but I don't want to lift, so question was specific to standard suspension heights. Cheers

    Hi Bud

    My wife's D2 is stock standard with 265/75/16 coopers on it.
    Only rubs every now and then when doing extreme articulation tracks.

    They only rub in the top outer edge of the wheel well and the outer edge of the tyre and only on the rear axle.

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    Steve
