Hi and welcome.

Any Zook on slightly taller rubber will impress you. Then you can go from there and decide how will you want to make it once you are hooked!

Thats a nice looking motor,i have the LWB version with the V6 lump in it and must admit i am well pleased with it.

I am changing my tyres in the next few months as mine are road tyres,dont go off road like the rest of them but looking at a set of AT tyres,mine are 215/65/16 because of the bigger lump in it and they are also more expensive than the standard ones.

Dont plan on doing anything extra too mine as it does all that i want from a motor,mainly just getting on and off fields during the winter.

Before you drive home take those horrible pink stickers off.

I think it looks good as it is, as long as you dont get any rub when articulating the suspension...
If you are planning on off roading it, I would look into making a skid plate for the bottom of it, pretty easy and you just need a big sheet of metal!!

Its a quite common mod for vitaras, they are quite well known for dragging their undercarriage along the ground so better to slide along a big metal plate ;)
