Nice, even at full lock-to-lock steering angle, and no rubbing? Those pics make it look awful close....

Rubbing at full lock all summer up until I put on winter tyres, no ill effects. With a lift kit it’s even less pronounced. 😜

I only get a minimum amount of VERY SLIGHT rub at full lock and only when the front is articulated on quite a slope.
But the rub is so slight that it doesn’t even cause a visual mark on the wheel liner plastics.

Looks awesome RJ-Disco5.
I fitted 275 55 R20 Scorpion AT PLus's this morning. No rub at all.
Only concern I will have is when tyres are coated with sticky mud, is the possibility it may cause damage but I cant imagine it would be too bad?

You have the 18" Compy's, right? Don't remember the size you're running on those....

The guy at the tyre shop actually gave me a good idea.
Heat gun to the plastics and deform the area that rub ever so slightly....all sorted. There is no hard surface that rub. All just plastics.
