Thread: 255/85/R16 on Wolf Rims?

Since fitting the 255/85 tyres and Wolf rims the steering stops have not required adjustment and the original turning circle has been retained.
There have been no issues with rubbing.

If that's the case you've been giving away steering lock for a very long time.

If the stops are adjusted to maximise lock on a 235/85 the 255's will foul big time.

130's also have the rear tyres projecting beyond the mud guards and Land Rover get away with it yet it's highly illegal for a private individual to fit tyres and wheels that project beyond the body line, so go figure.....
