Yes they will, but you will need to cut the guards a bit for them to clear.

As for rims, I recently purchased -23 offset which clear the chassis quite well. Rubber flares can be purchased from clark rubber and will keep those pesky coppers happy.

Here's mine.
3"suspension + 2" body lift. I have to pursuade my guards with a hammer just a little for them clear properly because they scrub on the plastics when flexed up.

Depending on the offset of your new wheels, they should fit, but you may need to hammer the seams in the wheel arch flat, and possibly trip the inner guard area at the base of the firewall.

It has been done plenty of times, so you should be able to get them underneath....

yep 31's will fit, depending of the offset of the rim you might have to trim the metal work at the back of the front wheel arch in the inner guard area.

edit: way tooo slow :oops: :lol:

I cleared 30s on standard vitara rims with a 2" body lift, no hammerings etc, so I cant see why not.

not enough offset and they will hit the chassis, you can chop the guards but you can't chop the chassis.

Mine with 30's and 0 offset f100 sunnie rims, no chopping was required at all.

no body lift, 2" spacers bump stop spacers in the front and a grinder had 15x7 -25's with the claws now on 15x8 -23's

if you do the hagan mod you would go close to not needing a hammer on the front at all
