Tyres rubbing!
A friend of mine has just fitted some 35 12.50 15’s to his 1996 90 and is now suffering from some arch rubbing even after cutting down a bit. Has anyone fitted these tyres before and if so how did you over come the rubbing?

Might be best to look at raising the suspension, also I have seen some defenders with cut down front wings too when they run these sort of tyres too. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Yeah it’s running a 2 inch lift, already trimmed the arches. Is the next step cutting the body work?
