ok my sad story to date... i have a swb 97 mod vit with the 4cyl 2l motor, anyhoo i did some research and thought id go with the 15x7" wheels and 235/75 tyres so i sourced some nice alloys with tyres (i also fitted a 2" body lift for clearance) i fitted the wheels and they did look the goods too bad when i tried to move my car i realised the callipers on the front had been clamped down on to disc because the wheel was too small to clear it only just though! so ive resisted the urge to fire the angle grinder up or put spacers in...

Now my question for you vit tech gurus, im planning on now getting new 16" kings wheels (terra chrome steelies) and 30.6" (245/75 r16) maxxis bighorn tyres if i install the ome suspension 2" plus my 2" body lift will i still have to hack at the guards for them to clear (since i have that plastic panel that runs around my car)? i also drive long distance time to time will this turn lil suzy into a pig to drive and muck with my gearing too much?
