Post by andyrew » Sat Sep 14, 2013 6:10 pm

That will be pretty low, 4.6 is a good diff ratio for 33s and 4.8 is a tiny bit lower.

I'm just on standard Sammi diffs Andy, goes fine on the 33s. Most i'll probably do it fit 413 diffs.

If they happen to be up for grabs though i may have a use for them.
