Just a simple yes or no question

Just a simple yes or no question about 35's under a gq with 2 inch body and 2 inch spring lift, a simple fit or will gaurds need cutting and what section of gaurd if so?

I've got a 40mm body lift and 40mm suspension lift. I ran 35"x13.5x15 Creepies on 15x12"rim beadlocked on a recent rockhopping trip in Sth island of NZ . I found they rubbed on the rear of the front guard and the rear of the rear guards. I found the right side worse then the left probaby because the torque of the motor pulls the body that way. I reckon you could get away with 35x12.5 on a 8-10" rim no problems, could be wrong though. For the record, I am happy with 33" Kumho KL-71 for now.

yes!

get some radius arm spacers for the front and they should clear the edge of the front guard fine.. or take to the offending corner with a lump hammer! (a mate did that to his)

yep

or just cut some of the guard away at the back of the front wheel arch,

if its got factory flairs too then its going to rub, I just cut mine on the weekend only need to take out about .5 cm and then fold back so not that much is needed to get rid of, but a hammer would also work lol

Yes they will fit, however it's just luck on how much you need to cut the guards. Some people get away with just spacing the front diff forwards and removing the factory flares, however i have a 3 inch spring, 2 inch body and before my guards got cut my 35's rubbed at the back and the top of the front wheel arches and also the back, front and above the chassis rail in the rear wheel arches. To fix the front, i had about an inch cut off the entire way round the wheel arches. And to fix the back, i trimmed the plastic stoneguard and the front of the arches, and also chopped the rear 1/4's off. Now the only place they rub is just above the chassis rails. If i put my swaybars back on, it would probably fix that aswell.

Thx guys i had a bit of a measure but im not confident theyl fit, ive ordered a set of 33x10.50x15 silverstone xtreme m/t today through work n will be fitting them then eventualy plan on cuttin the rear quarters n leave the lift and wheels at that, the rest like snorkle, rear bar etc will be D.I.Y projects coz i luv making my own things
