Anyway, I'm heading to the snow next month and taking the FG. Im wondering how have people gone fitting chains to the utes with factory 19s? May have to remove my spacers but that's not a big deal. Any experience with this would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you'll have a month to make any adjustments needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems to be an issue with Falcons, but wasnt sure if that was just the IRS models? Will make a few enquiries.

They did a test fit, got a perfect fit first go. Plenty of clearance for the springs and brakes. Only thing I will do, is remove the 25mm spacers for the trip, so the chains won't rub on the guard when its loaded up. Winner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
