Hey mate
A few threads on here on this (use the search function on the top right - others may be able to post the link, but I'm on tapatalk, so a little bit beyond me!! lol).
In the meantime, how about slipping over to the introductions section and telling us a bit about yourself and your rig. Something we ask for and lets everyone know how they're yakking with.
That said, welcome aboard, hope you hang around, and get amongst it!!!
Reckon you'll get 33's on without a lift mate, I think that's approx 285/75/17 in new money
I have just put some steel 16 inch rims on mine. Cheaper tyres and easy to get more tyre sizes. Steel rims in black cost me $110 each, I had a set of muddies of an old car in 265 75 16 already, but I will go to 285 75 16 next time I have to buy rubber

cheers for the advise guys i will try and find a decent tyre shop somewhere that might do some fitting of a few different sizes and then find the best size to suite the truck im sure if i get five of them it wont be a problem i may even try a different size rim i didnt think of that bigger choice in tyres is always good
285/75/17 will go straight on mate without a lift. No problem. You will need to take the front mud flaps off but no other dramas at all. That will be the biggest you could go though mate.
Look in the tyre section for my write up on the khumo kl71s for some pics of my GUiV with 285s on. Sorry on my iphone

Is this the lifted pic? ? ? :confused:
I was wondering that. I have heard that brakes are bigger on the CRD Patrols (mine is 2010) thus the change to 17" rims. I am getting closer to the first tyre change on my car and wondering if I could go 16" rims as the tyres are so much cheaper.Quote:

Does anyone know the legalities of fitting 35s to a new GU8?
Is it possible to get it engineered even though it has stability control?
Would love a set of 35's on a new GU8!
Short Answer..........NOQuote:

I run 35s on my GUIV and a 3" lift and parked by itself i recon it looks like it came like that from factory, perfect perspective. Park it next to a bog stocky and hmmmmmmm Its Huge! Handles and Drives Better than a new car but you will out brake me for sure.
Ok, thanks for that.Quote:

Yep, there are no tags on my suspension to say the model number and they'd be hard pressed to argue. The Tyres are a different issue, Assuming that th Tyres are not the cause of my accident then they should not look at them too much, as i said, parked by itself they dont look that big. ;) My logic, my risk!Quote:

Im just trying to figure out if I want to go a 2" or 3" lift.
What brand and make of tyre did you put on and are they on the Patrols standard 8 x 17 rimQuote:
