Rubbing where? Against the frame? adjust your steering stops. My
series II is running 165/75/16s. About the same height as a 750/16 bt
quite a bit wider. No rubs in the front once the steering stops were
adjusted and the rears just polish the vertical strengthening stay of
the rear inner wing at maximum upwards articulation.
But wasn't the original poster refering to a Disco?
