are these suitable on gu ?

[Plumy]

Hi, was wondering if anyone could tell me if these would be suitable for my patrol ute ? i have no flares on my ute what so ever, would these stick out past the panels ?

Hi mate. All depends on tyre width, rim width and offset.

They are 265 75 16 on 0 offset wheels if that helps ?

Have a look at Cuppa's Build thread mate, he has the same Ute and added Flares to the front so he could swap from Split rims to new ones. Looks a treat.

16x8 +10 offset is stock on my GU ute with flares, the "wide wheel pack"
The rim now is 16x8 -13 offset and fit nice with flares, if the rim you buy is outside the body a rubber strip flare kit will fix that, and wont get belted off in the bush either.
0 offset will be fine with a flare I'm guessing. The tyres can rub on the rear chassis rails on the utes when flexing the suspension, the reason I went for the wider offset.

ok those flares actually look pretty sweet, and they go on and fit eel with just the standard front bumper rather than the one for wide wheel setup ?? i realise these prob all seem like stupid questions but I'm new to the world of patrols, previously owned a pajero but shhhhhh

Yeah they should go straight on mate.

Go to that other thread and quote cuppa in a reply to that thread and he will get a notification that someone asked hima question and he will tell you all about them. He likes a chat does ol mate Cuppa ;)

37x13.50-18's..... they dont stick out much.... you will be ok with 265's bud....

Those flares look so much better than the flexi strip stuff I had in mind.
