So i was having a little play today, to see what fitted.. 35.5 inches of loving.. only just touched the front mud flaps on full lock

Yes i know they are worn, but there is still enough clearance for new ones.

A big thanks you to Greg @ Smithies Outback Gear for the loan

Yeah a guy at work has a set of 35" pedes that he wants to get rid of with 90% tread. Problem is they're a 16" tyre and the rims are 100 series rims so they are 5 stud.

Somewhere around $1100 probably, plus install. Let you know when it happens.

Best to spend the money on the gears before the treads.

Borrowed a mates 35's a couple of years back and put them on the shorty..........yes they look cool and you sound like a small aircraft at high speed but it is shiiiiit offroad if you are playing semi serious. Runs away downhill and uphill you have to hit stuff a lot harder (ie.. $$$$ breakages) to keep momentum and revs.

The gears are awesome (at times a little too good) and the control through the slow stuff pays for the outlay in parts before you know it.

Excellent words of wisdom there, I have recently fitted 35s and havent touched the gears or taken the car offroad. I have lifted the body and the suspension. My thoughts are now to go down to 33s and remove the body lift and avoid having to mod the gears/gear leavers/engineers certificate.

Yeah its all good. With the gears you have heaps more grunt (usable) for uphill and of course a nice sloooow 1st for downhill.

Highly recommended.

PS: That extra 1 inch of diff clearance makes a ridiculous difference to how easy / hard some things are. I kid you not

PPS: Go the 36 inch pedes, just to be the biggest.
