TNA get ya hand off it. You have no idea.
Mate 285/75R16 are so close to 33 who cares. And just for shits and giggles. BFG say there muddie is 33.1".
I ran these on a swb GQ and they where great. I used them till there end so some where around 80000km. Did alot of VIC hicountry and mud around Taralgon. There a good size. Very popular on patrols and cruisers before they went to 17"rims.
35's maybe a struggle. Yes you have the good diff ratios. But still not much power there. As most of use start with 4.1 diff gears and put either the 4.3's or 4.6's in.

15s are fine on your GU.
th 4.8 is the one with the larger brakes and need the 16s

you can fit 35-36's with a 2inch (or sagged 3inch) lift.
285s from different manufacturers will vary in size from just over true measured 33 to measured 32...
Same with tires marked 33's... some are a true measured 33 some arent.

2" lift will clear 35's on a gu, dont expect to much upward travel or dropdown tho
as its only 2" lift

Do you get much rubbing with only 2" lift ? what else is needed ? push front forward or anything ? I'm in that boat now.. got a stock height GU recently.. but I'd like to run my 35 simex's sometimes if possible but stick to 2" lift to stay closer to legal..

Mikmav, from memory. Taking the mudflaps off on a GU and they may fit. As the GU has more clearance around the front guard than a GQ.
Pretty sure sparky was running 35bfg muds with only a 2" lift

USUALLY 285s are taller than 33s. 33s are usually sold fatter than 285s. This is true of Coopers (spoke to the dude yesterday) and same with Procomp:
285/75R16 33.1
33x12.5R15 32.8
A little off topic, anyone noticed how much cheaper tyres are for 15" wheels vs 16" or 17" (like my goddam patrol alloys) - $300 becomes $400, or along those lines. F#$k!!

and my 33 MTR's were inch smaller than my 33in BFG MT's. so there.
tire sizes I reckon are just a rough estimate by manufacturers!
