if it works out gettin these tyres ill cut the outriggers off and fold the seam and we can see at wagtail if they fit! The main reason i want some bigger tyres is because im running the 1.3 engine and gear box but through my 410 transfer box so will hopefully get a bit more speed out of larger tyres!

Looking at he pictures of your SJ you seem to have quite a bit of arch in your springs? I wonder if it has actually got lift springs fitted?

can yu get some decent pictures? looking at the amount of arch gap you have I think you'll be ok with those tyres :thumbup:

Ans with a 410 tbox and diffs it will be geared well :thumbup:

This is my front and rear wheels, currently running 195's, there might be enough room at the front, not so sure about the back, sits a bit lower, but i could lift the back with some slightly longer shackles if i cant get any lift springs soon.

I couple of Suzukis back I had a '92 Samurai that has 215/75r15 BFG Muds and that needed no mods at all

I run 235/75r15 BFG Muds on my current '88 SJ and had to trim the front bumper mount a little...to be fair I need to get the grinder on the case again and go a bit further

Just fit as big as you can afford and cut the body work to match.
