Default Will 245/75R16 All Terrain Tires Rub On My Disco 1 With A 2 Inch Lift And No Spacers

I just bought a Discovery 1 with a 2 inch lift and 265/75R16 tires, but they are rubbing the radius arms when turned all the way left or right. To my knowledge, it does not have any spacers installed. I've been doing some research on which tires to replace the current ones with and am looking at the 245/75R16 size, but there seems to be some disagreement online as to whether or not they rub without any modifications other than the lift. I would prefer not to do a camel cut. If you have any knowledge of whether or not these tires will fit, I would love to hear it!

I have the same size tires on my D2, also with a 2” lift. The tires also rub on the radius arms at full lock.

My trucks have adjustable steering locks, so they can be adjusted to not rub but turning radius will increase a bit. There are adjustment bolts on the front of the hubs. The opposite hub will adjust gap at the radius arm.

Okay, how about Discovery II, will it work with 265/75r16 with no lift? It is my understanding that 245/75r16 should work just fine, as well as 235/85r16 (stock for Defender) but what about 265/75r16? They are still less than 32" in overall diameter. Closer to 31".
