Might have to take the arch trim off
Looking forward to seeing this, but I think you have now lost it completely

I think you might have a bit more than just some "slight" trimming to get those to fit mike they're mahooosive!
Re: Mikes Samurai build updated 17/05/13 :)
they are massive! you'll probably going to have to cut from the top of the current arch straight out to the back to make those fit, the front might be an adventure to make it fit. so any space left in your work shop with all those tires in there?
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Haha !!
Yeh I know, I'm going to have to make an adult decision about them.
I've last night bought a 99% rust free body shell, so my plan is if chopping it goes wrong I can fix it and put it back to how it is now.
But yes your all correct there very tall and wide. And awesome !!

Eh? What do you mean? He's only bought loads of massive rubbers for when he gets in the mood to get all dirty, I'm not sure what you could be talking about...ROBBIE wrote:I reckon your compensating for something

Re: Mikes Samurai build updated 17/05/13 :)
I've been measuring. I am going foward with making the 37's fit
Was having second thoughts, but me and Ben worked out with enough wheel offset it shouldn't be too bad.
So now I need to sort out this wheel issue.
Onwards people
