What wheels do you intend to use?
What size/width tyres are you intending to use?
315 / 75 R 16 is around 34.6". Can fit on an 8" rim (but 8.5" is recommended).

You might need to do a bit more body improvement to fit 35's,and even with 4.11 diffs,if the transfer case is 1.22:1 then it will still be marginal on 35's.
would use the dynamic 16x8, in regards to tyres thinking about Simex Jungle tracker 2 34x11.5 16Quote:

Spoke to Dynamic this morning out of interest and they don't do a +32mm offset wheel. +30mm only - which adds up to +4mm over the allowable increase in wheel track. I imagine with a group purchase of a set quantity of wheels they would probably consider changing. I did suggest to them that given VSB 14 application in most states now it may be of their benefit to start selling wheels that can actually legally be fitted.Quote:

35" on 4.11 gearing would be similar to the gearing of 31" tyres on a standard setup. I drove with 33" on standard for a long time and had no issues.
I have my 100mm track width increase on front and rear engineered but that's what I thought VSB14 is n effect for years now so you would think wheel manufacturers would catch on to it and produce compliant wheels
I think 4.3.1 is correct gearing for 35"
100mm? Are you sure Steve?
Vsb14 allows 50mm, prior to vsb14 it was 25mm, so 100?
That's a hell of a lot of offset, what have you got +7 offset? Nearly a zero offset rim. Standard is +57....that's a change of 2" each side of the car.
Those steel rims in your pictures look like they are about +30, so that would be an offset change of 54mm, ....?
100 would have the tyres sticking out of your flares by 2" each side.

The above, and others make rims 16x7, 16x8, 17s, 18s........all with the 50mm vsb14 max allowance.....yes for the D2

I think if you try and fit 35's you will find that they foul the body work somewhere.You will need to fully cycle the suspension with the steering in different positions lock to lock.Quote:

At least is what the first engineer in Sydney measured.
As I understand it any engineer can engineer what he deems as safe as long as he can explain why it's engineered this way, it makes sense from a engineering point of view and the car passes break and lane change test. With my 4" lift the track the width increase makes the car more stable and the increased in load is countered by Ashcroft axels and cvs in front and maxi drive in rear which more then compensate any load increase due to offset.
The safety of the car has been demonstrated in a lane change test and break test
which I both past.
