I could be wrong but I thought petrol diffs where even lower, in the 5. somethings.


I'm sure there's a calculator somewhere that can work it out, but i think it would mean you would need to run 35"s or even bigger to keep similar gearing :lol: Brings its own problems I suppose, but I would love to know of anyone that's done it.

Guards can be chopped, and wheels widened. But there's currently no decent solution to the crap gearing with anything over a 29" tire :cry:
60 + Turbo, 33"s :armsup:
