gottheshits Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 Alright to start building the database. Whats the biggest tyres you can run on a stock GU admin 1
admin Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Did you take the mud flaps off due to the size of the 33's or ??
The Big Rig Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah mate kinda by the time i drove 8ks they were hanging of I could have cut them but I'm waiting to get my lift than I will put them back on
admin Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Sweet - Im thinking of selling my quite new set of 4 Cooper AT's and upgrading to the 33" STMAXX that everyone is raving about. The Cooper AT's are fantastic on road and in the wet, but ground clearance in the bush will make a difference.. Plus, it will look shit hot.
The Big Rig Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 I'm thinking the same when my bfg at runs out of tread
Mavtroll Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Depending where you go the coopers don't like heat and tend to delaminate - nothing but praise for bfg or even maxxis as a cheaper option Straight with BALLS!!!!
Jacket_1985 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 iv had 35's on a stock GUIV, and they are the smallest in terms of tyre clearance of all the GU's. 2inch lift was perfect for the road and 35's, so ill say 33's are the go. First pic is no lift, 2nd is 2inch.
admin Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 That pic without the lift is funny... Looks a little close. Looks awsome with the lift. I think 33's would please the wife more than 35's.
gottheshits Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Posted May 5, 2012 I reckon they would as my 33s( close enough to) on full lock and a bit of flex( reversing out of driveway) do. The Big Rig 1
Jacket_1985 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Posted May 5, 2012 Do your 35s scrub out with the 2 inch lift? No. . . . but you have to space the front diff forward with radius arm spacers, remove front mudflaps, and cut a bit of plastic on the inside of your flare, but nothing cosmetically damaged, nor structural. the 35's fit like a bum in a bucket on a 2inch lift. The radius arm spacer. The bit that contacts on 3/4 lock after the mudflap is removed Wheels straight plenty of clearance. Just cut that little useless flap off the flare inside the colord' bit of your flare.
GU3Tray Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 I'm thinking of going down this road on a ute! Are the photos of rubbing on front or back? I have a series three so probably not the same. How wide are they 11.5/12.5/13.5. Seriously doubt you have 10.5.
Jacket_1985 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Only fouling is on the front. If you have a series 3 even better. Just chuck a 20mm radius arm spacer in with your 2in lift. And running 35's will be sweet, I had 35x12.5's on the guiv. And they were BFG's so they are a fat 12.5
Nutta Posted May 28, 2012 Report Posted May 28, 2012 Ive had 35s in muddies and ats on my gu3 with a 2" lift, the only spot they hit was up under the inside rear guard under full compression and the (what ever that long bloody arm is called that runs to the front diff housing) on full lock. One set are nissan offset and ones toyota, and one clips the front and the other the rear, so with the right offset front and rear neither would scrub (in my case). Christ, i nearly lost myself then!
