Do GU 16 by 8" Wheels on a GQ Patrol Protrude Beyond the Flares?
Hi All
As per the header i'm considering replacing the 15" original wheels on the GQ with GU 16 by 8" original steel wheels; if I can find some; so I could have a greater range of tyres to chose from in future when I fit new ones.
Talking tyres with a tyre salesman today and he tells me the GU wheel and tyre will protrude an inch or more beyond the GQ flares so be a tad illegal.
Is he correct?
As most of the GQs use is on road and towing I'm considering going H/T rather than A/T for a quieter ride. Any of you have experience with the tyres that are available, at this stage for 15" wheels?
Yokahama Geolander H/T S G 051 is one option and Goodyear Wrangler HT is another. Another one is the the 31/10.5R15 HT AUSTONE CSR34
Any thoughts on one or other of these? What else is there to look at?
