    Looks cool, a little lift and it will look awesome. 17" rims make big tyres look good without the tyres looking too big

    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.

    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..........NO

    Noone that you see driving around with 35s is legal and given a bad day could have a Canary slapped on their car if the police are having a bad day. You would Never get it Engineered to run 35s but you can get the 5" lift Engineered?? Go Figure!

    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.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    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.
