Thats about the biggest for those rims i think.

According to the tyre size guide they should actually be on bigger rims. http://forum.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/vi ... f=14&t=226

On 3" lift springs you should be ok for 31s without those shackles. Probably require a few inches off the bulkhead though.

Sorry, few inches off bulkhead? Sounds like some welding to me?

Yeah, 31s need more room or big bump stop extentions.

I think something like a 30/9.50/15 (is that the same as a 235?) goes on with a little lift and the bulk head seam folding over. Any bigger and its either the grinder and welder or a spot of axle moving.
