Alrighty, just returned from getting my 235/85 Enforcers with 235/85 trXus M/Ts. Never had any issue whatsoever with rubbing with the Enforcers. Something is rubbing underneath the vehicle, and also I'm getting a clunking type sound from bumps. The tie rod in the front, is it supposed to have quite a bit of play? I'm really confused and frustrated right now.. I'll cool down and check it out and come back here in a bit to see if anyone has any ideas. Could I perhaps need to flip my bumpstops? Thanks in advance.. Rob

Ok, meant to say enforcers replaced with trXus m/ts. Anyhow, it took forever to figure it out, but my stainless brake line was rubbing my tire. Perhaps it was doing this before and I just didn't notice, but now with those lugs I definitely noticed. Does anyone have a picture of their stainless brake lines installed with tire removed? I rigged on it tonight and it should hold a few days, hopefully the way I have it. But I want to get this thing right. Please help.. Rob

BTW, it's the front driver's side, passenger side is fine. The drivers' side rubs at full right hand turns.

Do you have a side pic to add or send? I have a 97 Disco with OME MD lift, removed air dam and 1/2 of the fr end caps and cut the rear fender corners and want to know how much air space I would have as I am interested in the same tire as you have purchased?

sounds like you need to adjust a steering stop.
