    Hey mate we like people to head to the introduction section first mate and say g'day.

    Just like walking I to any room mate, say g'day and people will happily welcome you and give every assistance they can.

    Please head over and start an intro thread.


    Re your question. :- yes but..... You will need to trim the back of the front guards at a minimum and depending on your lift, rim offset, rear trailing arm length, front caster setup they will scrub to crap all over the joint!

    Not withstanding that, what motor do you have? What diff ratios, any gear box crawler gears? Why do you want 38.5! Can you turn them?
    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.

    Yeah they will. Even take your body lift out if you want. Trim when it scrubs. Want a decent offset rim with tyred that wide tho.

    More misinformation from you mate. 33s are the largest legal.

    Correct. You are running a gauntlet with big tyres, just like big lifts and lights on the roof.

    Yeah big lift and lights are a no go. Way to much attention. As low as you can with the size rubber you want. And dont drive it around muddy and ratty all the time haha.
