Does a 33 fit on the back door?
My 33's fit on my barn but it depends what offset your rims for eg the factory rims with a +10 offset sits close to the door but the steel rims with my 33's have a -13 offset have alot more room.
x2 with Alitis007. I have same set up. Just remember the extra weight. That also concerns me, when the dollars permit I will replace rear bar and mount off there.
33" should fit if not buy longer 10mm x 1.25 pitch bolts say 50 mm long
and space the rear wheel bracket out with some washers.
I mounted mine internally as its a lot of weight on the door
I have a spacer for my light set up and have more than enough room for 35.. I would not put a 35 on though due to weight!!
Always thought you need to come out and up to fit
a 35 but remembered you have a custom rear bar
STD I think you will struggle to fit a 35 on a GQ, but
that's not the OP
On my GU8 I fit a 305/70R16 BFG KM2 on the rear door with a negative 13 rim otherwise doesn't fit.
Stretch has a 285/70R17 Dick Cepek FC-II on a GU7 on the original rim but had to put a spacer for it to fit.
I think it was touching the wiper or the actual barn door or both.
@ Mego if you want I have some laser cut disc 12mm you can fit up behind the rear wheel bracket.
Nah they fit alrightQuote:

Probably not a good idea to have that much weight on the rear door.Quote:

PS, MudRunner notice when i was down in Victoria at Christmas that my Tyre was rubbing on the bar and not allowing the door to shut properly and advised me how to fix it.

Exact same size I'm fitting but different brand I can get 285/75R16 kumho kl71 for 250 a tyre is that a relatively good tyre?Quote:

I removed the front flaps, I had about a 10mm gap between tyre and flap on a locked wheel.Quote:

Would've thought they'd be the sameQuote:

Happy to be corrected on this.
Back to op.
I think a 33 on the rear will be fine.. Along as your offset is fine.
35` tyres are pushing it..
That's on the weight side of things
I will be using standard rims first off and once I find a set I want then I'll buy them but I don't want Sunnys every **** has them and they date the car something fierceQuote:

You can move the front wheels forward 25mm with a spacer
Might just get a set of alloys off a gu8
16" tyres are cheaper and you'll get more variety
