I know i`ve seen it done, ODA1 say`s thay don`t fit.
To my knowledge (sum say that is limited ) if you shave a bit off the caliper & get the rite off set, 15`s can go on to a GV v6.

you would need to shave a heap off the calipers. don't do it, there are plenty 16's available. try hobsies 4wd shop for example.

I went down the track of trying to fit 15's....the only way it can be done is with wheel spacers. I even tried to have wheels made but no-one would do it. I run Maxxis Mudzilla's 31 x 11 1/2's but I have a body lift and a fair amount of chopping.

Hey ODA1 whats the biggest size you can fit under a new GV without having to chop guards and stuff. Looking to get some cross country shoes for the wife's Grand but not sure how big i can go.

245/75/16s are a tight fit if you have no lift

I got them for $290 per tyre fitted and static balanced, but that was mates rates and before the prices went up. And yes, still 16's.

ODA1 that looks awsome. I dont have a lift yet but it will soon enough. Its hard to find mud tyres in the smaller sizes but the 245/75/16 are an easier find.

Just had to do it, went round to Fatzook's house & Mugwui had Humzuk there,
the jack & tyre were already there. :roll:

Fatzook's rim on Mugwui's Gv, need's a touch machined (grinder would work) off the caliper for clearance, but would work!! :P :P
