Check out my Threads HERE (<<link) an you can see them in the different threads.
I have only just started the stainless ones, so yet to have any installed pics. But i can do telescopic or fixed for both the square galv and the stainless round, to suit GQ and GU.
I also do many options which are listed in each thread, like color matching, custom heights to suit your needs, and even a heavier wire to handle a bigger light if you see fit.
Anyway, jump over and have a look and if you have any questions feel free to throw us a pm.
Cheers

I have a Y61 2013, just curious if the 285/70R17's have clearance issues on standard suspension setup, is a suspension mod needed

Hi mate,
I needed to add a spacer to fit 285/70R17 KM2 to the rear door.

You will almost certainly have to remove your front mud flaps if you don't have a lift but that's all.

As stated you will need a spacer for your back door. ARB sell a spacer for $89 from memory. Easy bolt on and allow for a larger wider tyre to be bolted to the door.

The door spacers are readily available on eBay too. Here are a few pics off google.

Here is some pics of the rear door cracking that is too common when fitting larger tyres (even standard size can cause this! Go the rear bar for the win!!)

Search "GU spare wheel spacer" on eBay for a good selection including light mounts.

That's strange, I never needed a spacer. I wonder if the rim offset might have something to do with it?

I have -13 offset with 305's on the rear door and no spacer.

I think I had to fit the spacer to allow the rear light bracket to clear. A 285 on the standard Nissan rim should be fine, not sure about the 305 being a little wider?

The 305 on a -13 rim has been adjusted 23mm further out already from the Nissan offset of +10
