36 ETs on GU Wagon

Post by GUEEY »

Looking to run 36 Simex ETs on my wagon if possible without spending lots aof $$$ to do it.
I currently run 35 inch Radial Claws with a Dobbinson XXHD 3 inch suspension, no front mud flaps and they clear fine with plenty of room.
How much is involved in stepping up to a 36.
i no Rold-It had them on his Ute but they did look very close!

Thanks Grant.

Pretty sure Procomp and Ontrack both do the spacer kits. I got mine from Ontrack (GU/GQ same kit - pretty sure $30).

If you run GU rims and no mud flaps you will only need to wind you steering stops out a bit to stop them rubbing on the radius arms.

If you are running sunny style/cruiser offsets you will need the spacer kit but prob won't need to adjust the steering stops or maybe not as much.

Since last reported, I have reinstalled my factory front mud flaps but have trimmed the inside of each flap slightly. They now run without rubbing. Turning circle suffers a little due to steering stops but reduced steering angle is CV friendly so I'll deal with it.

The rears I obviously can't help you with.
