Hi all, I have just fitted 5 New 255/70/R15 to my fourtrak, but now i find the tyres are rubbing on the chassic on tight bends on full lock .... What as gone wrong ....Am i right in thinking that 255/70/R15 are fitted as standard on fourtraks ...Or have i just wasted £300 Pounds.
Your help Please.....Brian

with regard to fourtrak tyres i think youll find they were fitted with 215/75/15 tyres, if there rubbing on full lock you can try adjusting the nut that controls the amount of turn your front wheels get its on the front hub, other than that buy a set of wheel spacers .job done.regards guy
RIRES
THE 4TRAK CAN HAVE 235/70 AS THE LARGEST STANDARD TYRES
FOR A FITMENT GUIDE GO TO BRONCO 4X4 (PUT THAT IN THE SEARCH ENGINE)
I tried a 255 when i got my fourtrack (from a freinds) and i rubbed so went down to 235 and they are fine. Dont really know what you can do other than suspension mod!!

255/70 r15
when i brought my 4track it had 255/17/r15 grabber XP2000 2 fitted,
but they dont rub on either lock, mind u they squeal terribly easily when turning corners
Thanks Guys All Sorted
