Huh, didn't realise they had locating pins. Jacked it back up today and stuck my head back under, turns out the bush on the front of the leaf spring on the passenger side is completely stuffed. Looks like that might be where the problem is, explains why I've also noticed a bit of knocking in the back end recently as well.

Got the guards rolled and the rims fitted up the other day. They look sweet. Ended up with 235 on the front and 265 on the back but defs reckon I could have gone wider. Can't thank you enough for your input bamk2f6tornado. Looks as if my diff is off centre as well, rim sits more flush on the right than the left but that's a problem for another day.

DUDE! That is perfect! Can't thank you enough for all the info. Was really starting to worry I wasn't going to be able to make them work. I'll make sure to throw a pic up once I've got em all fitted.

Yeah I thought that might be the case. I reckon I'm a touch lower than you so that's a good reference point. I hadn't heard of doing the rear guards like that before, I might take a look and see if I can take care of it that way. If not I'll get the pros on to it. In the meantime, guess I'm in the market for some 275s, What sorta profile should I be looking at? Does that have any play in fitment or just effect the rolling diameter?

bamk2f6tornado! You are a legend! Your ute looks great with that fitment. How much room do you have under the rear guards with the 275's? I'd prefer to run a bigger wheel but if I ran a smaller tyre, say a 255, would I get away without any love to the rear? I spoke to a guard roller yesterday who reckons he can cut the bracket on the rear, roll the guard then re-attached the support bracket. So I'm happy to get it done if need be. My ute does sit fairly low though. My old rims are cracked but they have a good set of 235/40s on them so I might pull them off and whack them on the front.

Hey guys, I've got a set of Rota D2-EX that I want to fit to me BA ute. They are 18x9.5 +15 (front) and 18x10 +15 (rears), I've been hunting around and see a bloke on here (Henz) used to run +12 all round. I figure I'm in for a headache but with a bit of guard love I should be fine, maybe some stretch. Just wondering if anyone has run these sizes before and with what success/tyres?
