Tyre clearance question...

ABZ_MK2_RS said:

Hi folks, Im pretty new to here

I have a standard 90 Defender. I have bought a few items to fit to it including Mach 5 wheels (7x16) and 265-75/16 insa turbo special tracks. The suspension is standard.

Will there be any clearance issues with these wheels?? If i need to adjust anything how do I do it ??

Cheers

TBH the wheels were not cheap, £119 each from devon4x4....still waiting on getting them. the tyres were about £70+vat from Paddocks (delivered with a safari snorkel today )

I just love the look of the mach 5 wheels, plus i believe (from what I have read that they are strong, but the downside is you cant bash them back into shape as they are alloy?? - is this right :S)

Im totally new to this Landrover stuff, but have always wanted one! The folk who own them seem friendly no nonsense folk who love their vehicles

So how do I adjust the lock stops? is that internal to the steering rack? Forgive my ignorance, I have been working on cars too long
