Gu iv 2" lift 33" tyres what rim offset?

[Danlonie95]

Hey I was wondering if anyone can help me, I'm looking to get 2" lift and 33" tyres but I'm not sure what rim offset I need? It cant sit out side the guards tho

Hi mate,

we ask all new members to go to the introduction section first and post an intro about yourself to say Hi.

Kinda like walking into a room and not ignoring the place. ;)

Have a look around mate, plenty of info here. Post an intro mate.

search for the "Black Rim" thread as it is current and there are some good pics that will help you make a decision.

To answer your question though.

285/ 75 R16 on a Neg 6 rim is about your limit.

regards MR

Hi and welcome to the Forum, heaps of tips and info
here for you so jump in anytime and enjoy.

@ BA GU not GQ , not that IMO there would be a huge difference
Just thought I'd point it out in case you find more rubbish bags LOL

And black rims are soooooo 2013
White are soooooo 80s

yep what he said. Neg 13 or even Neg 22 are fine on a GQ because everyone fits FLexi Flares but on a GUIV you cant and Neg13 would be outside the guard

[Bloodyaussie]

Did not see that you did not introduce yourself mate.. polite to head over to the intro section and say g'day mate!!

[Danlonie95]

Thanks guys, sorry I didn't realise there was an intro section

Why can't you fit flexi flares to a GUIV? If you can't fit flexi flares to a GUIV, what are the options when fitting wider wheels?

Still not sure what GU my '06 is.

You could if you removed all the plastic first I reckon, take it back to the metal work, then add the flares

Because a GUIV has the current shape large moulded flares and it would look like Junk!

Options are up to Neg 6 without trouble

Going by your avatar alone Cuppa you have a Coil cab GUIII DX without any factory flares running split rims.

You could fit flexi flares onto your guards mate but it would look crap if you had factory flares as well.

Thanks MR,
Coil/leaf DX. No flares at all. You have reassured me. I will have to fit flares of some sort on the front when I get the new rims & wheels (rear will be ok) & the price of factory/fibreglass aftermarket ones is seriously crazy. Flexi's won't look as good but would be far more practical & affordable.
I have seen one pair of factory flares at a relatively reasonable cost however & have made enquiries because the seller commented "DOES NOT EASILY SUIT VEHICLES WITH BULL BARS!!! PLEASE ASK FOR INFO!!!" Not sure if this means they need to be cut or what.

Can't imagine what he is talking about??

Maybe he is confused with Brush bars down the sides? Even then you should have no trouble. Flexi flares look pretty good on a DX actually. I think Healy has flexes on his white one? Check his build thread.

[MudRunnerTD]

Yep just checked, Healy has a DX and Flexi Flares. Looks pretty neat

Look here. Good pic on page 1 and then another on page 8

Thanks guys, neg 6 seem to be the go

[healy]

There are some more pics for you cuppa

[Cuppa]

Hi Healy, are they the purpose made flexis or the 'Bunnings version'?

Cuppa

[healy]

There garden edging previous owner done it terrain tamer do a nice flexi set which is what I will be putting on in a few weeks with the garden edging its just the cutting to make it look good is the pain but certainly the cheapest option you can do strength wise

[Alitis007]

The earlier GU's have wider flares than the later ones and the neg13 16x8's with 33's on them that i tried the other day sat nicely, just on the edge actually but still under.
