I run 16X8 Kings Steelies with 285X75X16 Dick Cepek FCIIs on the GU IV and Kimberley. Works fine for me.

Yes they fit under the guards on campertrailer. I've also had 33x12.5R15 w/ M/T's MTZ from Landcruiser on trailer maybe that could be something to consider because they are a simalar size to the 17's on Patrol.

Hey guys - I run 285/75/R16s on the Patrol with 16x8 rims. On the camper I can go to 16x7 rims but the 16x8 would be outside the guard as the 7s just have room. So I believe I would need to modify the guards on the camper (flare them)? Or am I on the wrong track?

Hi Jas,
Probably best to wait till it arrives and have a look but I would say modifying/flaring the guards would be easiest option, nice to have matching tryes all round. Another thing to consider is track width, mine is about 65mm wider on the trailer centre to centre so not an issue. I could imagine if it was substantially wider or narrower it could cause issues trying to straddle your wheel tracks in the muck.
Cheers

Hi mate - that's what I am thinking. In terms of the current tracking the trailer is pretty much bang on. Be interesting to measure when I get it - but the Engs from the manufacturer (and the distributor who is a good guy and who I've known for a while) reckon my wheels won't fit in the guards without modification.......

As long as you keep the diameters the same you could still run a narrower set for the camper. I know that if its needed you may have to fit a wider spare to the trailer but it will get you out of trouble and there will be no driveline issues if fitted to the patrol if needed to.

as nissannewby said as long as the tyres overall end up at the same hieght it doesnt matter about width its only hieght differences that will cause mechanical dramas on your 4by.
