ok just been, talking to soemone that can get me a set of 38's real cheap, my question is will they fit, and what is the actual size of 38/12.5/r15 TSL?
the lux has extended shackles all round, dropped front hanger, over 2" lift and 2" body lift, i fit 35's no worries, no rubbing or fowling, would i fit these tyres.

You will need to get some width and bring the diff forward if you want to get full lock

What rear axle do you have in your Luxs guys?
I've heard that semi-floating axles are prohibited in Australia?

I guess that works because they only drive those on snow.
And they don't grenade CVs because they don't have to make tight turns- they have lots of free space
