    Think about changing the offset on the wheels to limit that inner guard scrub. Not really that big a deal though?? The inner guard is smooth and so is the tyre so your not going to chew anything up scrubbing there mate.

    The scrubbing you want to avoid is the tyre hitting the back of the quarter panel ie the outer edge of the guard and stripping the guard or the tread and slicing it to bits. The back edge of the front guards can take a big hit too but it is the outer edge your worried about mate. Check out the bottom edge of the body just above the chassis rail in the inner though, you need to bend it in slightly or it will slice the inside edge of the tyre and make a right mess. The rest is nothing mate.

    Scrubbing the inner is a fact of life mate. my GQ running 35s on a 5" lift scrubs the inners. It is setup perfectly with great flex, the only way i could stop this now is drop the bump stops?? or change the offset. currently +zero. If i went to a Neg 22 or bigger i would struggle to scrub the inner.

    My front tyres scrub on the top edge of the spring towers on full flex even with Drop boxes and the back of the front guard in the wheel arch cut away.. Remember your going pretty slow at full flex mate...

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
