GU ute with 40s > how much offset
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2011 7:53 pm
I have got 40 inch treps to go on some 17 x8 wheels with only -25 mm offset .
Have not put the tyres on the rims yet but if anyone has seen or had 40s on a GU ute than what is the offset that will clear the front arms. Im guessing i will use 6mm spacer and may work. I dont care about the guards,just clearance on turning with the control arms.
And on the rear with the full up travel that hits the chassis and original tray mounts .also guessing 1.5 inch spacers added. maybe 2 inch (i dont own any so want to get it right b4 buying)
4.5 in suspension lift and 2 in body.
And yes im lazy and dont want to put these heavy tyres on and off while trying different combos to get the correct spacers. got a sore back just thinking about it.
