What lift is needed to fit 33' x 12.5 15R on a GQ Shorty without dramas
Hi all,
This is a question from my mate with a GQ shorty. He is getting a massive variance in opinions from suspension retailers regarding what he will need to do to fit said tyres to his GQ. Anything from a 2 inch suspension lift to a , 2 inch body & 2 inch suspension and some have even said he will need to chop the guards.....input please!

X2 with Nisshead....... I took off the front mudflaps due to rubbing on full lock but radius arm spacers will fix that, I'm just to lazy to do it lol.
What width 33s are you getting and what rims are they goin on?
Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

Yep ive got the same tyres as that on my wagon (33" x 12.5 R15) with a sagged 2" lift and it doesn't rub anywhere.
FanTapstic!

I've got the spacers on a 2" lift and my 33s have ruined the front guards haha

I don't have spacers. But every patrol seems to be slightly different for some reason lol. If it does rub on the front mud flaps with a 2" lift then you might be able to adjust the mud flaps, chain them back, or just remove them.

No, he shouldn't have any problems, he may or may not get a little scrubbing somewhere in the wheel arches on full flex but nothing major but I guess that will also depend on the offset of the rims
