Tyres

As dan said you will probably pop them off the bead running 31s on 10" wheels.
I would sell them and buy some 8" wheels from 4x4tyres as jordi said. I think I got mine for £45 each?
Either that or keep them until you are ready to move to 33s

Thanks twiss i did want 33 on so think i myt keep them , what would i have to do with the axels change them or are the 410 ones ok to run with 33 on , could i leave my spacers on so no rubbing aswell ? Thanks

[Jordi]

If you run spacers on those wheels and 33s you will destroy bearings.

Best thing is to swap to Samurai axles. Wider track, bigger diffs and more choice of diff gears to change your gear ratios.

[twiss]

^ agreed.... samurai axles will give you more clearance between the tyres and springs too

[lukey4x4]

Thanks lads seems like the best option then , how much r we talkin for the sammy axels n diffs n stuff , thanks

[twiss]

Probably between £100 and £250 depending who you get it from and the condition. Bear in mind that the spring spacing on samurai axles is bigger so you will need to weld on axle saddles to match your springs

Don't forget you WILL need to sort the gearing out for 33s, it'll be crap with standard gearing and barely move or have enough power to make the most out of the tyre size.

33s, 4.1 t/box, 4.3 R&Ps

Thanks for the help lads but think am just gunna go for the 31 for now , so just 1 quick question so i dont buy the wrong wheels or tyres lol , so i need some 15x8j rims and put some 15x10 or 10.5 tyres on and just to check would the gearing need to be changed still or would it be ok , thanks

Ah, I don't think it'd be that bad on standard gearing. I'm on standard gearing with my 31's and 1.3 litre, and while it's not great, it's do-able. He's got a lower t-case than the one I have installed, plus he's got a 1.6 SPI.

I won't argue that it's ideal (that's why I bought a rockwatt rocklobster from Mike) but I wouldn't be *that* worried about a 410 t-cased 1.6 on sammy axles.

My plan is to go 1.6, rocklobster, and 3.9 diffs, but I've already got those bits lying around waiting for me to catch up...
