15" Wheel on GU

Post by Swerve »

All,

Stupid question.

Will a 15" wheel fit on a 2003 GU Patrol. I don't want to take a wheel off and test when I can ask my question here ?

Thanks

It depends on the wheel from memory

Hi,

I have a 2000 GU wagon and have tried 15's on it and they fit. Just not much clearance around the brake calipers.

Yes they do fit. I run 33x12.5x15 Goodyear MTR on landcruiser offet rims and they look great as the wheel sits out further. It also handles better on the road as it has a wider stance, and I get no scrubbing on full flex like my standard rims with 285s.

I have two sets of 15 x 8's.
One set being the landcruiser offset.
The other being slightly less offset, about 10mm less.
Both sets fit fine.

some rims have a different rim profile, ie where the indent is rolled for the flange

I've got 15's with landcruiser offset rims on a 2002 gu ute, not much clearance on calipers.

Only steel wheels will fit because there so thin like a sunnys or something, you won't get an alloy wheel on!

I agree.

We have a 00 wagon and 01 ute - both 4.2 TD

both run 15 inch rims just fine.

I think the 4.8 had bigger discs ?!?!
