Dammit! Bust my rear wiper :(
Fitted 265/75 16s on tomb raider boosts to my Landy and didnt think to check wiper clearance, first day I've needed it today and I've turned it on and jammed it Sad I've loosened the nuts of the wheel and returned it to the stop, but how do I go about adjusting the wheel out? It's dark and hammering down now so I can't really see, but I'm assuming there's adjustable stops behind the wheel? Or do I just use the old method of an old standard wheelnut used as a spacer?
Thanks! 2009 Defender County Hard Top (gone 😞)

I think you'll find that using spacers (of some sort) will probably be your answer Thumbs Up

Old wheel nut it is then Smile cheers!
JW how do they do it from the factory then? Cos 265/75s are an optional extra aren't they? 2009 Defender County Hard Top (gone 😞)

There are large flat nuts fitted to each thred, I put 10mm spacers behind these, but could of just screwed them out a bit.

Best bet is to buy some washers and pack it out a bit. Put 1 extra washer on the top stud and you will need to pack it out less.
