Best photos i could find. I have approx 5" clearance all the way round on 31s. No fouling at all. So 33s should be fine, i've also got extended bump stops to i dont kill my nice springs or rip the 1600 sump off when i fit it.

I haven't moved the axle (yet). If i dont have to i probably won't. I'd probably need extended props (don't like spacers) and it would cock the castor up so i'd need shims or small lift shackles to correct it.

You won't loose any leg room ;) you only need to cut out the section behind the throttle pedal and remove the stop for it so the pedal just ends up being stopped by the new section that you weld in.

This is cut out enough to clear 33s with standard height suspension.

You won't even notice the difference!

Ok, took longer than expected. Just order four GT Radial Adventuro M/Ts 33/12.50/15s.

Nice, you putting these on the new wheels? How will the offset work for you?

Got some off set 15x10s for them. Also got wheel spacers.

So it should look pretty fat.
