    Guys, I run 33s un my GU with a 4" lift but with toyota offsets which widens the track by about 40mm I think. But more to the point it gives a bit more clearance in the guards when you are fully articulated. I am just in the process of sourcing a set of 4.625 gear ratios for the diffs to bring it back to apoint where I am not struggling on steep hills. there's always something. What is it they say " For every action there is a reaction"

    Cheers WANO

    I've got BFG 33's AT with 2" lift and had front mud guards off to prevent them from rubbing.

    I am in the market for some new tyres to. I was told today by several tyre shops in the area ( Central QLD) that i can only legally fit 265's as 285's (33's) are to big.

    I'm using 35" Cooper STTs with an 4" OME lift kit (minimunm to ensure not rubbing) and no rubbing at all. I love the stance and ground clearance , but the engine looses agilty with them compared to the older 33"s I had.. Although mine is a 4,5 petrol GU, its a 5 speed stick model so I can still work the beast to go on. Strangley my speedo gives still a correct speed , since compared to the GPS on board , it gives the correct speed.

    Hey

    My mate has a Gu patrol and he fitted 2inch suspension lift and 35inch tyres. These scrubbed on flex and would really need another 1-2 inch lift to fit comfortably. 35's are great for off road but will mess with your fuel economy etc onroad.

    the best compromise may be the 33's - or even a set of road tyres and some 35's for offroad.
