Simex scrubbing. Help.

[Kirby]

I have 35 x 11.5 x 15 Simex Centipedes on 1973 Rangie and at full lock they rub on the trailing arms. Does anyone have a fix for this or can you get wheel spacers for them. Thanks..

What offset rims?

Wind the lock stops out on the swivel hubs

25mm offset rims will fix this no probs.

the stops on my dico were to short to wind out and prevent scrubbing and i am on offsets but not sure how much. I had to make new stops, longer bold by itself was not enough as it relies on the head of the bolt hitting on (i'm not sure what you call it) the part where the swivel pin housing bolts onto the diff housing. The head on the longer bolt would just miss the position. I fitted a longer high tensile bolt, but before fitting it i spun on a couple of nuts first, one of which i had to cut down a little. This meant that there was enough head there not to miss the position on the diff where it had to fit.
good luck, it's not hard.

I run the same tyres on my 95 disco. I only have 5mm offset rims and winding out the stop bolt worked fine for me. I have 3 inch coils so I dont know if this helps.

Thanks for the advise. Where do i find this stop bolt..

[Reddo]

look at the back of the hub, you will see a bolt that sticks out from near the swivel ball and when the wheel is turned to full lock, it hits the diff/axle housing preventing further rotation...there'rs one each side

you can see it in these pictures
