Never wash your truck

AlexD333 · 11-01-2015, 21:03

Decided to wash the terrano today, found some light surface rust where my wheels have been rubbing my chassis legs...

Ive got to do something about this...

As I am looking to transform the beast some more too I was looking at going for some crazy wheels, perhaps some -40 offset wheels?

My tyres are still plenty legal but starting to age nicely, I think they only have about 8mm left

Come on chaps, suggestions please? I defo need some crazy offset wheels, which means I will need to makeshift some arches, guess I should avoid going bigger due to steering stress. My draglink has a lot of play in it too

I struggle with mine on the front even though I've cut everything I can away.
Mine are -35 10" deep dish.

AlexD333 · 11-01-2015, 21:40

Are they wider than arches?

I've got 30mm spacers too

Might pay to adjust your lock stops a bit to see if that helps or don't turn the steering wheel as far

It's the rears rubbing

You still got the stock bump stops or have you done away with them.

When the rubbers fell off my bump stops I replaced them with some cheapo land rover ones as I was getting a bit of contact with the body on full articulation.

Then there is something wrong with your suspension, im running 10x15 rims with -44 offset and32 inch tires with no rub... that was before lifting it.

Have not checked? Perhaps stops are missing? Shockies are fairly new... Wheels I currently have unfortunately I think have a positive offset

Your castor may be set back to far, or lower arm bushes may be worn out allowing the hub to sit too close to the rear of the wheel arch.

He's got rubbing on the rear wheels/chassis not the front

i'm sure it's the off set of the wheels causing it
