Hi Troopymad,
What offset are u using with the 35's?
I'm about to order 16x8 with neg 34.
What size rims are u running?
Thank you.
Gav.
PS: that 5 inch lift of yours, is that 2"inch body and 3" suspension.
I've got 1" body and 2.5" suspension. I moved the diff forward 1".
I reckon I'll be able to fit 35's under it but as its my daily I might stick
to 33's
Cheers again.

It runs standard springs that have been reset in the past but they've sagged to what i believe is near stock height (front)
I cut 40mm out of the edge of the guards and cut out the inner guard - replaced it with plastic.
The tyre uses every last bit of flexibility that plastic has
The rear doesn't flex so no clearance issues there...

thanks dogbreath, thats got my hopes up to be running 37s at a maximum of 2 inch lift, as i dont want any higher, i dont mind having to fab up new inner guards.

Factor in some diff gears too. I run 4.56 which i find ideal for my use.

I ran 35'' pedes (measure nearly 36'') with virtually no lift, just chopped front guards with the front diff moved forward.

If your car runs a H55F and you dont run the bigger rubber all the time there are other gearing options available, some VERY cheap

would those gear ratios be ok with 33s and 35s, as i have a spare diff at home, and will eventually get it locked, and same with the front, so if those gears work ok with the smaller tyres, i may put them in before i have the tyres, so that its done once not twice.
hulsty, i would also like to be enlightened about the h55f information, and i do run that box
cheers guys
