I am well aware that this topic has been done before, Im running a 6" lift at the moment, and a 2" body lift is on the way, will i be able to run 35x12.5x15's or 16 Will I need to use a landcruiser ofset rim as well? WIll i need to trim flares and remove mud flaps. i have 4.11 diff ratios, are 4.6's perfect for the 35's?
Any help will be appreciated.

Man 6" Lift and 2" body, thats enough to fit 39.5x15 Swampers with a bit of trimming. To fit 35's you will need a bit of trimming and rubber flairs are the best bet. If you change your diff ratio's to 4.6 with 35" tyres it will be back to a standard feel on the road.

Im just curious to how much trimming i will need, cause i was hoping to get away without any trimming at all.

my 35 bfg MT's hit both front and rear of the rear wheel arch at the same time [not bad though] so i had to get rid of the mudflaps. and lots of flare trimming.

If any one has pics of their 35" at full stuff front and rear it would be helpfull, I was really trying to get away with flare trimming only, i have a mates 35's lined up as a test fit as soon as the body lift goes in.
Thanks for your help all.

I run 35's with a 6" lift and no body lift. You can forget all your mudflaps. Had to trim rear flares, and have trimmed 20mm out the rear qtr panels. With the body lift you will be able to get away without trimming the qtr panels but you will still need to remove your mudflaps and trim your flares. Neg 20-22 offset is needed to fit 12.5's on 8's. Rears will still drag on the inside chassis rail at full compression, but even the factory rims and 31s do this.

Dad's running Q78s with only a 3-4ish inch suspension lift, the guards just got a fair bit of trimming to make them fit

you dont do it without trimming.. Even spacing the control arms forward wont make it fit.
Plenty here have said it, wont work... ~$200 a panel beater will hack and refold lips on your guards, paint em the lot, and you will never no the difference.
Haydens guards on the front make it easy to keep front stock.

I haven't had any probs fitting 35 BFGs without trimming. I run 4" Dobinson coils and a 40mm bodylift. I suspect that I would be able to fit them even without the bodylift.
They rub ever so slightly on the rear mudflaps but that is all.
Maybe my truck is special!?!
Oh yeah, and like A2MAV said, I have posted stuffed tyre pics in my member page.
