In all cases the short side it's the same .. the long side it's longer in 60 series.

What would be the difference to just adding 500 ml of water. Water flows very well, it would spread itself out and work the same?

Toyota offset 16 x 8 Rims on a GU

Has anyone put toyota offset rims (16 x 8) on a GU. Do the fit inside the gaurds?

Mine is a GU4 and I am thinking that the extra offset will look good and be a little more stable. Plus I can get some cheap for offroad work.
