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.

Steve.

[joeblow]

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.

[steak_knife]

Yes boss.

Just don`t like the price of em, 235/70r16, so im told only bfg make mud`s,
Mate`s rates 300 if i fit em

[ODA1]

cooper STT 225/7516s $260 retail!

[steak_knife]

That`s what you run?? thats the same rolling dia as what i have.

This wasn`t me not believing you ODA1, tis just that i`ve seen it in oz.

Cheers, Steve.

[ODA1]

its all cool, i dont know everything

i run the Cooper STT 225/75/ 16s and the retail price was $260 and i got it through work friends for $220 a tire.

[steak_knife]

$220`s what i was quoted to, you`ve had em on awhile to, what are thay past half worn??

[ODA1]

last week



i think i still have over half and i have had them for about 16 months.

I just saw some maxxis buckshot mudders - 245/75/16 on a GV and it looks good

[ODA1]

[steak_knife]

Were the guards cut out??? I just miss on flex in the rear now!!
I`ll try this whole photo thing.

[RIKSTR]

I ran 255/70 R16 BFG Mudders on mine with some work but I got 5 of them for around $1200 fitted ($240 ea fitted) and the price has not changed that much

[ODA1]

What do you call " some work " ??
I`ve never been a fan of body lift..


Steve.

[steak_knife]

LOOK!!!! I got a photo up!

Didn`t even crash the computer when i did it. & I`m a clutch burner to !!
Things are look`n up.

[ODA1]

in the suzuki dealer workshop!!, is that a Suzuki approved technique

[steak_knife]

Um.......... What??.......... Um........... ????

[Mugwui]

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.

[steak_knife]

how much thay set you back?? still 16`s??



Steve

[Built4thrashing]

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.

Cheers

[ODA1]

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

[Mugwui]

8) how much thay set you back?? still 16`s??



Steve

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.

2.5" Calmini Kit, 1" body lift, some small trimming or the plastics around the front and rear of the wheel arches,

Also a 255/70 R16 fit on the rear door...........just

[Built4thrashing]

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.

Cheers

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

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

[ODA1]

looks good i see a white Gv with those same rims every time i head over to see bruce.

[ODA1]

stekkie we should try the Funbys 245/70/16s with the XL7 rims on your GV
