Nope:( it was dark wen i got home from work and my dad didn't get home with them from his work till 8 30?, So wont be able to even have a looksie what they look like on the surf till saterday, unles i want to get up an hour earlyer to see.
got the tires put on the rims thismorning and put them on the truck at about 12 then a test drive at 12 30, sheesh it looks good. IT rubs a little bit on full lock but not much.. i have asqweeelling power steering belt that tels me wen to stop turning.. Makes a big thmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmrrrrrrrrrrrr along the road wen your going tho!, and is a little bit diffrent wen driving on the road.
Looks good Jase, having those tyres sticking out so far will help push your truck away from banks and stuff when you in tight stuff and help protect the body work a bit (not that I think you have to worry about your surf bodywork) and stop the body from getting all hooked up on stuff
Remember they love MUD and you need to keep them spinning fast to get thru, in sand they like to dig big holes, are you running tubes? coz you need to drop em to at least 10psi coz of the hard sidewalls. watch em on sidelings .... if it feels like they are sliding you off they are, trick is to keep em moving......

Whereabouts is the rubbing? My 33s rub on the sway bar and the pitman arm, I need some rims with a bit more offset but not so much that I start rubbing on the body.

it's rubbing where the two seems are welded to geather? i on't know if thats the corect name, but you can see where it has ripped the plastic away in one of the pictures..
My new tyres were rubbin on the seam also, just "Massaged" the seam inwards with a big fargin hammer, aswell as adjusting part of the floor plan with the same method. then applied some underseal to stop iron oxide.
I also cut the plastic guardliner off where it joins to the lower guard and bashed the gyard lip back on it self behind the guard, otherwise the first time ya susp compress and ya wheel turns, the sharp edge will slice into ya tread
Got a Daihatsu Something, hasn't got a Daihatsu engine.... or diffs.... and it doesn't have windows.... or doors.... but its got tyres....

wont affect it if they dont know... i took my innner guard out, smashed back the seam than put the inner guard back in, you cant tell its been done that way...
pic above looks primo too, be interesting to see how your tyres wear, im looking at a set of 35's for my patrol, but they will get a bit of road use so not too sure.
