what size tyres????
just done a spoa and was wondering what tyre size to go for, without doing to much choping!!
Please help me find a new zook!!
Re: what size tyres????
I think with SPOA you can easily fit 33" posably as big as 35" I only have 2" lift and i run 302 tyres, but if you go to big you will start poping drive shafts.

It really boils down to budget...remold or not... and what you like.
Re: what size tyres????
think about the gearing increase you will have to. im not sure what size tyre is safe to run on sj axles without putting to much pressure on the cv and diffs?
Re: what size tyres????
without lowering the ratios i wouldn't go any bigger than 31s on a 410 as you will have no acceleration and have to do everything most things in 1st gear offroad. saying that mine wasn't too bad and it still went most places even got it up to 70 once! now that was scary haha oh and there will be no engine braking down slopes at all!
just remember that you really need to go out 1" in width for every 1" you go up too! otherwise the side of your car will get very familiar with the ground on a regular basis

Re: what size tyres????
I think you will be geared too high for 33s with that set up as sammy axles are higher ratio than 410 axles. I would go for a vitara ring and pinion conversion on your diffs, that should sort the gearing nicely, you want two front diffs out of a 1.6 8v.

arent the front diffs in vitaras made out of cheese?
might be ok with low torque and power though!
