HELP: Slapping on 235's [or bigger tires] on a Suzuki Vitara [merged]

[avv]

Whats the biggest tire puweding ikabit sa vitara stock? no mods....

[mikaztro]

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

[guido]

puede? time to change na rin kasi tires ng vitara namin. gusto ko sana medyo malaki
yung 235/75/15 hindi ba sasayad pagliliko?

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!

[chuaed]

i just want to say that i admire your ride...

at first nag kwento ka sa ibang thread regarding sa problems sa vitara nabili mo eh i thought na kakarag karag na at bulok na iyun dahil 2nd hand...

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.

How wide is your oem rims?

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

Sana yan yung 4.5 280SE...

[OTEP]

200D engine mated to A/T. My father's version of an 'economy' car rather than drive himself around in a Picanto or Getz.

Or maybe he's just living out his ambition of being a pimp-daddy of sorts.
