Tyres rubbing off road. Swamper stuff.

[Barberrossa05]

Running 245 65 17 coopers on standard Devonport alloys but this isn't just a show pony and when I'm on rough and /or uneven ground I get rubbing.

Will a lift or spacers help or both ? What's the best option? 71 Plate LWB 4MO

I run the same but have a 35mm lift kit with uprated shocks and springs. Mines fine but I still take it steady when off road properly. Check out The Van Cave and have a chat with Chris. He's on here.

What spacers did you end up running ? I’m running a similar set up but with 35mm lift

Its an old thread (28 Jul 2022) and the van appears to be dropped, perhaps that is why it is rubbing.

Just out of interest - not that I am wanting to do this.
What is the logic of dropping the suspension, then putting big wheels on and especially, why do this with a 'swamper'? Or is it just for looks?
Not starting an argument - just genuinely wondering why.

I'd have thought the best thing for any track driving would be high suspension and either 20" or 17" depending on where you look, but I don't off-road by choice (only when I follow my innate inbuilt navigation and ignore the front seat passenger aka backseat driver who happens to always be right)
