New GU with 285/70/17's hitting mud flap

Darren

Easy fixed, remove the inside screw and relocate the back end of the mudflap on the other side of the bracket space it out with a couple of nuts and put a small bolt and lock nut through it.
You will also need to cut a little section out of the inside of the mud flap in order to put a bolt through. Try it and you will see what I mean. I have BFG 285/70/17 and they don't rub anymore, If you get stuck I can email you a pic if needed. Hope this helps

Cheers

I was just pricing some new tyres today and was told that to fit the 285's properly, the car required a lift kit. As mine has a 2" lift, I was OK. That was a 285 75 16 which would be near the same size as yours with the 285 70 17.

For trips I use 285x75x16 Goodyear MTRs on ROH steel wheels. I have removed the original mudflaps because they scrub the tyre and have fitted a trimmed standard mudflap. Looks OK and helps keep the mud off the car. You might find that you need to trim the rear arch above the tyre as well.

Instal a 12.5mm radius arm spacer from BBMotorsports. 02 9679 9744. Cost is $50 + P/H

that's gold thanks guys, might try ingo's suggestion as it seems the simplest - I'll have a look and may come back to you for a pic.

I sliced my mudflaps down the middle
