16" wheels legal on GU IV ?
Series 4 gu comes with 17s from factory, place card indicates I think 265/70r17 tyres. Can I fit 16s and if so am I limited to 265/70r16 tyres or can I go for 285/85r16s ? Is it legal?

I would only assume so, as you see plenty of GUIV's around with 16inch steelies on. Give Brett at 4x4 Obsession a call. He did my engineers cert on my Patrol. He would be able to tell you yay or nay.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

The GUIV DX may have come out with 16s so it would make it legal across the range if that is the case.

By whatever percentage you change the tyres will also apply to the speedo IE if the tyres are 7% bigger the speedo will be 7% lower etc etc
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Yeah but you will learn quickly where the 100 mark is on your speed. when in doubt slow down is my moto.
