You will have a tyre placard somewhere that shows max tyre size but on a GQ it's 33" and yes max lift is 2" ,well that's in Victoriastan anyway .
Road legal down here IIRC a max of 75mm increase in our GU heights overall from stock. (tyres & lift together)Quote:

35” ‘moderate’ muddies will scrape a tad experienced out in the bush, most noticeably front end turning hard down a steep descent but nothing to fret too hard over mate!
EDIT: 35’s not road allowed on GU’s without ‘Portal Axles’ & certified registration thereafter, boys in blue will still query roadside though on sight!

33's, or a 285/75R16 will fit with ease but you may rub on the front mudflap. To overcome this you either remove the mudflap, or put some radius arm spacers in which push the front wheels forward just enough. 35's will fit but you will again have rubbing issues in the same spot, and its illegal anyway.
Edit : or as old mate above has said...
Beat me to the edit same time legalities, good man Mr Mudski [emoji106][emoji106] Tis a shame, 35’s on a GU could road swerve test up as good as any GQ on 33’s in theory?

So theoretically I could fit 35s? With the 2 inch lift in it
And keep standards in case the boys in blue nick me?
Car is very neat not belted up so maybe I could get away with 35s
35" tyres are not legal, regardless of lift. 33" is the limit. Combined with 2" suspension lift, or 33" tyres only or 3" lift only and no change in tyre diameter.
As PeeBee mentions above mate and do be extra careful as 3” equates to 76.2mm and they have been known to use metric tapes roadside around here!

In simplest form of English , 35 inch are a no go. Regardless of how you look at it and how you set your car up.

put a Pro locker in the front leave the LSD in the back and youll nearly be unstopable, that will get you most places IMO
Agree with TD above mate, our family stockish wagon gets up some fairly gnarly stuff too on 33’s. Best rear end LSD stock setups of same class ever made IMHO too!
My old leaf sprung ute although had the super sized pumpkin H260 diff and did require 35’s to clear minor track ruts out bush.
The H260’s were designed for lugging sizeable loads onroad so we can’t blame Nissan for dat ;-)
EDIT: Spend some fair coin on a decent winch mate and when in doubt, winch your beast out!

Ive gone from 35's back to 33's. Still does everything. I have the H260 rear diff too, big and strong, but a little too big. I am always having issues with getting hung up in ruts. One day I will get the diff pumkins shaved to overcome this issue.
For the record too, 305's are the same diameter of a 285. A 305 are the same as the old 33" x 12.5", the 285 is just a slightly narrower variant of the 305.
Only my opinion Mr Mark but reckon you’d be better off swapping a H230 into it and selling the H260 sort after coily wagon setup for better back coin?
Worries me a little bit this diff shaving on daily trucks, comp yes, but too much could go wrong if done incorrectly on a great family truck mates!

Yeah I thought about that mate. Just a pipe dream at the moment.Quote:

Any chance of a side on pic of the GQ beast @Ben-e-boy mate?
Only ever seen wicked videos of it taming our high country hardest climbs!
GU utes from a distance seem to hide taller rubber pretty well too.
