    Offset required to run 35's on GU8

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone knows what offset is required to run 35's,
    On a GU8 without them hanging outside of the factory flares!
    Also will this offset stop the tyre from tearing up the inner guard??

    Thanks in advance

    Offset required to run 35's on GU8

    I am running factory GU IV rims with 35's with no issues.
    I have radius arm spacers to push the front diff forward and run no front sway bar. Have had this set run fine with both 2 and 3" lift.

    Thanks Rus.

    What offset are those rims standard??
    I know the later 17" are a 0 offset and have been told that it will tear the lhs inner guard

    I have a feeling they are +10 or 0 offset. I have 2 sets of the 17" rims and they are both different offsets. I did remove the front mud flaps and did some trimming to make sure I wouldn't rub anywhere.

    +10 is stock, my rims are -13 for 33" with a good fit inside the flares etc, and dont really know if 35' will not rub on the mud flap, as Russ said there are spacers available to push the diff forward.
