It’s rim offset that’s causing the scrubbing problem, not that tyre size, but 205’s are a largish tyre

Yeah, they'l rub on the springs on the full lock. It's no big deal, sounds terrible though.

Why? They’re a different size tyre on a different rim?

Gazillions of people have run 235's on LJ's. A 6" rim with a small negative backspacing (-10 or so) would be far better than a 5.5"rim for a 235. 5.5 is a bit too narrow.
