special track tyres...need spacers!

Forum: 

Ordered a set of Insa Turbo Special Track tyres for my fourtrak which arrived today Smile I decided to go for 235/75 15s seeing as my truck isnt lifted yet. Any way i fit the tyres to my rims, mount on the truck only to find when the fronts are on full lock you cant turn the wheels because the the massive side lugs on the tyre catch the leaf springs. Now have to buy a set of spacers (from blood red offroad)
Oh well i thought it couldnt all go too smoothly! I'll put a pic up when the tyres are on.

(If anyone is looking for some hardcore offroad tyres, special tracks are awesome!)

What rims are they fitted

What rims are they fitted to? Putting them on wider rims with a deeper dish would be kinder to the wheel barings, stearing and swivel housing barings than using spacers. If the lugs only hit when at full lock I wouldn't worry anyway. It'll be a bit noisy, but will work. You should only be at full lockat very low spedds anyway.

Theyre fitted to daihatsu

Theyre fitted to daihatsu deep alloys. Tomorrow im going to adjust the bump stops and try sort it out. Is it an easy job?

hey sammy

Mate you should have had a chat with me, id put you on the right lines for what to do!!, look inside the axle for the stop nut/bolt adjust it outward to stop them rubbing until you get some spacers or different alloys.

Full of ideas but no time to do them!!
