Personably I'd run 245 tyres and underbody protection. The maximum safe lift is only 35mm and you loose quite a lot of wheel travel due to the stiffer springs.

245/75 16 or 245/70 17 tyres and a bash plate by Ironman. A tow bar, even if you don't tow, is great at stopping the rear end being ripped off.

I'd be curious how this went, I have a 2010 GV and same deal, she drags a bit but otherwise is a beaut but I've mangled one exhaust so far and damaged my current one, did you get lift, bash plates etc? If so how did it go?

Hi Everyone, do any of the tyres mentioned below require cutting of plastics, hammering guards or anything or is it put them on and off you go?
