was just wondering wat offsets people are running with 35's on 75/79 series utes?? i'm running 315/75/16 on 16x8 black sunraisia rims with 6 inch lift and finding front and rear are scrubing on the top of the spring on the front and chassis on rear

My current 73 series has 35" pedes on 15x7s, and I need 2 inch wheel spacers to stop them rubbing. On an old 73 series, 36s on -22 offset 15x8s rubbed, but didn't when I put them on -22 15x10s.

You'll need massive offeset to stop the scrubbing, I have something like -50ish total and they still rub on the chassis under flex, I dont really worry about it though. Put a 80 series rear diff in, will pretty much stop it then.

OK was thinking around that amount would suit best,
and while we are on the rim/tyre subject does anyone know if 15 inch rims fit on the 79 series ute?

No, they will hit on the caliper plus no one makes a 15" rim in the five stud with the correct PCD.
