hey islandvit
i had the same problem coz my rims did not have a big enough backspacing, (not big enough offset)
i replaced them with speedy 15x7s with a 15mm backspacing.

Have a search, there was a thread in general chit chat. From memory they are all gone now.

No problems anywhere for me thats why I researched before I lashed out
on tyres etc... the 30x9.5x15's on 15x7's with 15mm more backspacing than std seemed to work out perfectly no rub plus now i have my OME 40mm lifted springs and extended OME shocks in it's fantastic!
Just need to hook the new engine up (hoses and wiring etc...) and get my radiator re-cored and the bottom tank swaped to the drivers side and we can look at rego finally! :armsup: :armsup: :armsup:

Sits a little higher the rears are 100kg load rated to take all my gear etc..
Sorry for the crappy Mobile Phone Pics!

Bump stop extension's

Post by BOGFROG »

While I'm back in this thread since it's also in the bible as well.
What length bump stop extensions do you think I should put in this thing since the suspension lift is only 40mm should I go half that or the full 40mm or other? what do you think?
