Hi All
I have just found a good STR navara second hand and was wondering if someone could help me with some info on a problem it has. The car has just been fitted with new tyres which are 265/75 x16 so they have gone a bit larger. On full lock they rub on the inner guard, knowing what it was i have told the saleman i want it sorted before purchasing. Id say the only way to fix it is new tyres which i want as the ones on it are cheapies and i want BFG Muddies. My question is to people runnig the 265/75 x 16 do you need a lift or bodylift to reduce rubbing?????? I was looking at lifting it shortly anyway.
Thanks Heaps Chris

In QLD fitting a 265/75R16 is illegal due to the increase being over what is permitted. If memory serves me correct a 265/75R16 is an increase of around 27mm where only 15 mm is permitted.
Even if you do a lift it will still rub when articulating with a bit steering lock on.
The reason they put 265/75R16's on is because they are way cheaper
Stand your ground and make them put the correct size tyre on
