You want to get the maximum offset you can as the tires to the chassis are very close on the leaf spring rears, the wheel travel will be limited once the tires hit the chassis.
The offset is usually detirmined by the width of your tray.

35's will fit with a cruiser offset rim but does scuff when flexed, the rear diff is 100mm narrower than the front (rear is left over gq diff), i put 2" spacers on from snake to bring the track equal front to back, easy.

didnt think that gu's came with leaf backs i thought they were all coileys skip the snake products there quality and backup have gone down hill of late and go with somethimg like dobinsons kit or a bbm kit try tjm or opposite lock snake are over priced and overrated if you need the extra offset you can get the extra offset in a set of rims rather than spending megga bucks on a set of wheel spacers
