Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day, I want to put a set of 80 series GXL 16" Rims with 285's on my 92 75 series Ute, are there any problems with the offset or any other problems before I go ahead, any help would be great, Thanks.....

my mate has the same set with them rims and it has not caused any problems!just they are a little bit more in set then standard rims.

Thanks Mate, I was told by a few people they would hit the calipers but if your mate already has them on & has no trouble, thats proof enough....

I'm trying to put the GXL rims on my '87 HJ75, but they rub the rubber boot on the tie rod end pretty hard (can't spin the wheel by hand)!
Does anyone have any ideas how to overcome this? Also, i run a set of 34" simex (~35") tyres on sunnies without rubbing - is it likely i'll have a problem running 33" tyres on the GXL rims?

The offset on the 80 series rim is all wrong for a 75....and the steering arms will rub....better to get 16x8 sunnies 3.5 inch backspace.

Yep.
Where are you and how much?

I ended up opting for keeping my 15" sunnies & fitting 32x11.5 15R MTR's, not as much noticable drop in power than 33's & still looks better than the 31's
