Will 30 x 9.5 Wrangler MTR fit under a 95 Vitara with no mods to the front wheel well - firewall area??
3" Calmini Suspension Lift to go in.
Do I need wheel spacers at all??

I havn't tried it myself but from what i've seen and what i've read on here you shouldn't have any problems if you have 3 inch lift.

After reading this post, I'm seriously considering purchasing a 3" Lift, and go for the 30" or 31".

What's the least I have to do, to fit big tyres in ? Im worried about rubbing of the wheel arches.

There is the calmini official site, www.calmini.com or go to www.kaos4x4.com.au. These blokes are in canberra and are the ONLY authorised dealer for calmini products in Australia. They're number is on the web site and speak to hamish, really helpful. But since you already have the lift you might know this........

How much did you pay for that 3" calmini lift. It's $1000USD over here. I hear the shocks are utter crap that come with it, so most people switch them out, or get $50 off the kit price to not get the shocks with it. Shows you how much they're worth.

Anyway, that kaos link didn't work without passwords and crap. Bit of a joke...

I bit the bullet and brought a set of 30" 9.5 MTR.
Have half a lift in at the moment rear end, other half this Friday.
But by what I have been told 30" is no problem.
Will see friday if they touch anywhere.

Try this for Kaos

mtzook I can PM what price I payed as I did a group buy?
Running the Calmini shocks see how they go.

cj there are a few different suppliers on the East Coast wheather they are authorised dealer no idea.

Kaos is the cheaper price.
