    I think 30x9.5 would be the max or perhaps an undersized 31's. More than that will result in tire rubbing.

    Hi, 4x4ph has been down for quite a while. I'd just like to ask if it is possible to put on a set of 235/75R15 (1.18" wider and 1.77" taller) tires on a Vitara wearing the OEM alloys (see image).

    Do I need to trim anything (I don't really mind trimming plastic stuff)? Thanks so much!

    Salamat. Sa commander-in-chief iyan. hehehe.

    Dumating na nga pala yung Monroe gas shocks na inorder ko from Iceman of 4x4ph.com. Php1450/pair. Mura na considering Php1,350 per shock ang presyuhan sa Banawe ngayon. Kakabit ko na lang bukas.

    OT: Heto din nga po pala yung isang nakwento ko. Yung kakauwi pa lang bahay eh hindi na namin ma-start. Umaandar naman na ngayon. May mali lang sa pagbuo ng fuel tank.


    Old school pero naka-alarm at MP3. Yung parang tulo sa sahig, diesel iyan. hehehe.

    Now back to regular Zuki programming.

    Interior shot. Pardon the crappy 'free' leatherette seatcovers. I installed a universal land meter on the dash because the OEM Zuk land meter is a staggering Php8k!


    Engine bay. I forgot to get battery tie downs when I got the shocks. Will just drop by Glenn's shop on Sunday to see what they have. The one in SM is too small (for 1sm). Pardon the dust. I guess it's forgivable considering it's an 11 year old car.

    I think they're 5.5's. But the usual wheel/tire relationships are not really followed in off-road vehicles. E.g. I have 12.5" wide tires on 7" rims. I'm just interested to know if any rubbing will occur during full articulation or full turn. And if I would need to trim anything.

    OT: 280SE/250SE na diesel? Or galing sa 200D yun?

    Sana yan yung 4.5 280SE...
