As above, how will 15 x 8 with a negative 22 offset rim and 31" tyres go on a vitara? (93 LWB)

I'm hoping to get away with no or little suspension or body lift atm. Guards will be cut etc. I searched but couldn't find anything on whether I'd get full steering lock still and how much these would stick out the guards? My only concern is the clearance of the rear tyres and the rear doors if the tyre sits out too much. Stock tyres tuck up into the guard fairly well, so I'm guessing I'm gonna have to bumpstop the rear a fair bit.

Any help much appreciated :)

Its gunna smack shit all over the place

31's on the front smack the back of the guard with a bodylift, 235 with 13mm offset and no body lift get stuck in the back of the guard and you cant turn straight again

rear will hit the bumper mount and once again smack the guard big time without quite a few inches of bumpstop extension

you might get away with moving the front hubs forward (not for street use) and chopping the crap out of the rear but why not jsut do a bodylift

Can anyone give me a rough idea, how much I should expect these to hang out the guard?
