265 tyres / boosts??
Just a quick one, will factory supplied boosts be ok with 265 wide tyres or will they need spaces to stop them rubbing on full lock?
2009 110 its only a car!

Mine fit no problem Thumbs Up
You may need to adjust the lockstop if they rub (but don't need spacers...)

Thanks Alex,
Which tyres you running.
I'm thinking of cooper STT's on these boosts for green laning,
And going to run 285 BFG A/T on the Mach 5's 16 x 9"
Their been made with the offset to suit the arches and turning lock. its only a car!

Im on 265 BFG AT which are great for all my needs (80% on road , and a good bit of wet grass, alpine snow etc).

If I could slightly hijack the thread.
Would the 265's also fit on the OEM wheel carrier without issues?

I had to fit some spacers to mine to allow the tyre to clear the rear wiper:
