No. Some chopping will be necessary unless you make the car so tall it is no longer functional. And/or bumpstop the car so heavily it has no suspension travel. The rear is no problem, the issue is the front. It might be possible to run a narrow 32 (235 85 16) on GV rims with just some seam hammering if you run bumpstop spacing and remove the bumper outrigger A narrow 33 (255 85 16) will contact the headlight bucket area with the car at any sensible ride height. |

I don't mind cutting the Guards it's just I can't get the bolts out that hold the flare on there that tight hahah, but if I can get them off I'll probably just end up cutting |

the bolts in the flares are usually rusted and need cutting or drilling to remove |

You'd be prepared to run the car really tall to avoid removing some rusted in screws? That's interesting logic. |

Yup i run 235/85r16 on gv rims with 1" spacers on the front and 2" spacers on the rear for workable offset with 2" springs and some light hammerwork. |
