Hey guys. How many people are running 285/75/16 with 0 offset rims with standard suspension? Is it possible?

Not possible. That's a 285 on 0 offset 16x8.
To get them to fit and be able to turn you need 50mm lift, removal of the front mud flap, grinding of the inner guard pinch weld and trimming of the inside of the flare.

They will still touch from time to time while off road.

What about 285/75's on a standard MY15 glx?

I only ask as a bloke came into work with some federal mud tyres and has never had scrubbing issues.

I sold a set of 285x75x16 kumho ATs to my mate about a month ago and helped install them on his stock 2011 MN and we just removed the front mud flaps, all good. they were +20 offset 16x8 steelies. But the kumho tyres are a bit more round on the corners so a better fit... They will not scrub even on full compression and 3/4 turn


And that's on sagged stock suspension... Gotta love the Tritons big wheel arches fitting 33" rubber without a lift or any other mods

Hi everyone just so I can confirm what I need with my 2 inch lift.

I have a GLR MN with 265/75R16 now and looking to get 285/75R16 on the truck what do I need for rims for it to fit

I.e Offsets etc

I know some trimming will be needed for the guards etc.

This will put the tyre about 10 to 15 outside the guard depending on the tyre.

Should just need to remove the lower front mudflap, depending on tyre and how much your front lift actually is
Measure middle of wheel to flare should be over 575mm

Again depending on tyre it could just be the bulge of the tyre outside the factory flare and a picky cop to get you, just depends on the rest of the mods making you cop bait

When i had the car like this, i just trimmed the mud flaps a little & they weren't too bad.
I've since put spring spacers in & it clears no worries.
The original lift i had was only 1 inch from memory, it was the tuff dog kit.
Its been replaced now, because the shockers died.
