Maximum width a tyre can protrude.

Hi Guys,

So i went out a got some 35" tyres fited to my FJ73. LOVING the tyres, i got Maxxis Mudzillas, amazingly capable tyre!

So they seemed fine until i actually took her out. I noticed when the vehicle began to articulate there was scrubbing occuring.

So ive decided that ill need to get offset rims. The tyres already sit about about 25mm out of the wheel arches on both sides. Im thinking of getting a 2" offset just to allow enough roof for everything to move around etc. So by the time i get the 2" offset rims fitted the tyres will protrude about 75mm.... I know.. its HEAPS! i have purchased some 'flexy flares' for the wheel arches which are the 65mm size.

So my question is how far can a tyre stick out from the body of the vehicle? i think i had heard nothing can stick our further than the side mirrors. But not sure.

Im in VIC btw..

Thanks guys

Has anyone else come accross these problems??

Thanks
