    Yeah it's not a cheap hobby!

    You will get away from that rubbing effect by going a 255/70 tyre. Mine do in the rear (only very slightly), but that's because my bump stops are an inch shorter than standard and only under max articulation. Not even enough to notice in cab, and I can drive around on the bump stops without rubbing (ask me how I know!!)

    You're not wrong! I drove nearly 1,000km (one thousand) on the bump stops! And 60km of that was Low Range First gear... You think highway is bad on the bump stops, try doing serious 4wding or corrugations on them... Brings a new meaning to the term "giving birth"!

    I can almost feel the bumps just reading about it! Not the most pleasant memory of a p38

    The mud flaps are back on the car, clearance is minimal at around 5 mm, but they are on and they don't rub on the Big horns. The trick was some bending of the bracket on the inner guard.

    I run 265 75 16 km2 and it doesn't rub at all, the only occasional rub is in highway mode, going up a driveway a bit quicker than you should..

    The run about wheels are 265/65/18 or 803mm dia. Hacked a little off the front mudguards, raised top 3 eas settings 25mm each and added 25mm to bump stops to prevent abrupt stops on highway just in case it ****s itself and collapses at 100km/h. All good apart from that. Therefore will be buying 265/75/16 ,muddies for the steel rims. Any bigger would surely need bodywork trimming.

    Nah all standard just played with eas a bit to make a bit higher, although when eas heights were untouched, I still didn't get rubbing unless the owner before me played with them..
