LR4 tire rub/trimming
Hey Y’all,
I’m new to all things Land Rover and am currently building a 2016 LR4 overlanding rig. The tires that were on the vehicle when I purchased are rubbing at 100% turn on the two front tires. I’ve attached photos where exactly the rubbing is happening at. I was curious if yall had any advice on trimming, grinding, or bending to make the clearance better. I have 275/60/20’s. Any advice or help would be awesome!
The polished park is where the tire has been rubbing.

That is an odd tire size considering they are not AT. Simply put, they are too big. If you want to keep that size, you have to modify the horns. Also in that last pic, you may want to make certain that the wire loom is not rubbing. Does not look like it, but it can happen. Are there spacers installed? They can cause more rubbing issues than not.

Yours looks like it could be a 2015.
The tire size matrix is inside the door jamb. I suspect it will read 255/55R19 or 255/50R20.
If you are going to migrate away from what the vehicle was engineered for I wouldn’t chance it without consulting this:

Pay attention to the effects of the scrub angle.
