2" spring lift and 2" guard chop should fit them under - but wont they scrub on steering lock and compression?

I just wonder how hard it will, i heard about screw which can regulate angle. This will decrease turning ability but removes rubbing.

What about backspacing at your wheels? I've got basic vitara's with afaik +20mm.

I miss the LWB

After throwing spanners around with the vitara again today... I'm looking for another LWB sierra
yoger, I'll have a measure of the backspacing on the rims for you tomorrow if I have a chance, I'm guessing they are around the -20mm

I just figured out that your tyre is ~30cm wide, when my will be 23,5. Maybe this difference will work instead of changing rims for bckspacing.

if you use +10 rims the fit heaps better. also to get them off the fire wall u can drill the rear hole on the a arm out about a inch

standard vitara is 215/65r16 isnt it?
either way - the smallest centipedes are 29x7.5r15/16 (195/90r15/16), and these would seem to fit that sizing visually - but the OP says 31s...

Its says 235/85/16 so ~32 but real size is just a lil over 31", 79cm exactly. And quite heavy 23kg each.
Yest standard is 215/65/16 on pict, 27" approx
