Hey buddy good to hear from ya!
Yeah this was another problem I had trying to choose tyres So many
don't measure what they are some larger some smaller the trepadors I got in 30"s measure 29.9" so not too far off but the simex's I was looking @ where 31"s measuring in @ 32.2"

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.
search wheel spacers and ul c my old post bout the same trouble.
all good now thx 2 all the guys,
hope that helps

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

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?

6" from tyre to flare in the front and 7" in the rear . Any reply to my previous question re: Bumpstop spacer length? :?
