Hi all, I have a 2 inch lift on my 2011 gu st patrol and am running 265/70/r16 wranglers on it. Which I believe is around a 31 inch tyre. I want to go to a 33 inch tyre as I reckon they are a better offroad size. Would a 285/75r16 be ok to put on without the tyre scrubbing? Also will that size bolt on to the back door for the spare?
Yes mate you will have no dramas at all.
You'll have to remove the front mud flaps

X2 with Winnie mate. I don't believe there should be any dramas.
I'm not 100% sure but think you can get 35's under a GU with a 2 inch lift without any dramas.

Unless you are running a weird offset rim, 33's should bolt straight on (incl the spare) without any issues at all.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Doug the tyre you are running standard is a 32" 265/70/16, standard GU rims are +10 in the 16's, u can run 33" 285/75/16 & 2" lift with no issue but it will scrub the front mudflaps when flexing with the swaybar on & rear inner guards, same will happen with -13 rim, running -22 is technically illegal but no one will ever pick it up unless your rims are examined, this will never happen, these will scrub very slightly when you have no sway bars connected & is great for rock climbing as you get max flex out of the springs & shocks, be sure to adjust the proportional valve spring for the rear brakes, everyone will tell you it is not required but it is, put some weight in the vehicle or tow something & you will learn very fast you have poor rear brakes, your fronts will lock on dirt or tar in an emergency & you have no steering

I literally did this 2 weeks before xmas. Changed from 17" rims back to 16". 285/75/16. on king rims with a 2" lift. Looks great too. -13 offset. Still had to remove front mud flaps. No biggy. Spare fitted no problem. More concerned about extra weight on door though.
