Tyre/Strut Question

Postby TheDuke1011 » Wed Oct 12, 2016 1:25 am

Have a beautiful '96 PF.
I've heard that the Max Size Tyres you can run on a PF is 31's (because of the strut being in the way).

So now I'm running 31x10.5xR15 Falken Wildpeaks ATs. And they just scrub the strut. I have only 1-2mm clearance, MAX.

Funny thing is, I recall there being MORE clearance when I first fitted the wheels. Could I possibly have bent something by going offroad, like the control arm? Or the knuckle? Or am I just being paranoid?

Here are some pics of my PF strut clearance. Can people tell me if something is off here? Or post pics of their own 31's and how much they clear the strut so i can compare.

Thanks.

I also have a 2inch lift (50mm)- lovells springs and webco shocks if that helps...
