    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

    PS check out the WA AULROians area in "Interest Groups",us WA people have our own bit of turf there.
