er... i think hes talking about a calmini 3inch suspension lift and 2/3 inch body lift combo...

I run 31" SIMEX Centipede Extreme Trackers (with calmini 3+3) and i think they are more like an actualy 32" diameter so you may get away with alot of 32" AT or more mild tred MT's with minimal to no scrubbing. Not really sure of the limit tho i have only tried the 31's....

in their brochures/cattle dogs they are running 33x9.5r15 swampers, but to do that you would want to address the gearing/cv issues first. i would think 31's would be enough.

yes i have 3+3 calmini. I guess it depends what you want to use it for, if its a daily forget it. The ride is quite stiff on road (and ET's are noisy and skittish) and gearing is quite messed up (no 5th, lucky to get over 100km/h) but off road its hard to fault, i'm yet to do a cv but i'm sure it will happen one day.

attached a couple of crappy pics :)

Pretty sure the question is about the vitara kit not sierra.

i have the 6" combo.

found the body lift crap (2" box section), so i pulled out the box and run a 1" body lift. still clear 31's easily. 2" body lift with a few in the springs will allow you to run 32's, needs a little massaging with a hammer though.
