Hi guys,

Ive got SWB GQ its got 6" spring no body lift yet, Has got 35" tyres on

standard nissan rims!

When im offroad I tend to find my rear wheels scrub out on the subframe?

What do you guys suggest?

Could change the offset off the rim?

Wheel spacers? What do you think about them? thinking maybe 2" spacer

Any suggestion would be great!

Thanks

Ben.

You can limit travel using bumpstop extentions but then is that what you want from your 6"lift?

space it a little then lengthen your bump stops, they wont decreace ur articulation 2 much but will save you a packet on tyres :D

landcruiser rims will give you some offset, not sure how much but it will make a difference, mine still rubs heaps, i could make the bump stops longer or i could tub the rear or i could just keep driving it...

if your running standard GQ rims they are only 7 inch rims 0 offset they will be bagging the tyres fit some 8 inch -25 offset rims (landcruiser) will bring the tyres away about 40mm but will still rub just not as bad body lift probably wont help much either and with 6 inch springs you wouldnt really want to go any higher on a shorty anyway
