Hello again, grand vitara suspension help?
Re: Hello again, grand vitara suspension help?
Cool, managed to get a sneaky look at a swb minute ago! Looks like there is quite a bit a plastic and inner wing that can go! Not sure I will get such a large tire to work though! So might have to stick with a 31 will have we will see!

I have a GV1600 SWB, 2" inch suspension lift when I put 245/70/16 tyres on a -30mm off set wheel the tyre just catches (on full lock) the arches. I will trim off the front as plastic, but the rear part i will get someone to do as never welded.
when you lift don't forget the drop brackets and you will deff' need the camber adjust bolts.

Hopefully collecting a GV diesel 5dr on Saturday so now the choices start! Much much lift and what tires?

Re: Hello again, grand vitara suspension help?
I'd lend you my 31" spare to work out what virtual lift and/or actual lift you require - but I'm a bit too far away.
Got anyone nearby with a 31/33?

That would be a great help if anyone did?

Re: Hello again, grand vitara suspension help?
You would be more than welcome to drive up and try some tyres, I have quite a selection of tyre sizes on wheels with various offsets.
However 15" wheels catch on the caliper if it's got any engine other than the 1.6 so it might be a case of fit them as well as we can and cycle the steering and suspension
