Title: 88 Samurai with 2 inch Calmini Shackle Reverse
Post by: bowhunter1994 on August 04, 2010, 10:27:18 AM

I have an 88' Samurai with stock tires and rims. I'm buying new tires and I'm wondering if i can fit 30x9.5R15 with my Calmini 2 inch Shackle Reverse.But i have heard that they wont fit with the stock front bumper i have. Will the 30x9.5R15 fit?

A 30x9.5x15 tire on a stock rim will fit quite well w/the two inch lift. You will need to trim about 1/2 inch off the stock bumper (right where the 'L' bracket holds the plastic cover), trim the bottom corner of where the stock bumper bolts to the frame outriggers, and smash/pound flat the seam at the back of the front fenderwell. Then you should be good to go...

One of my personal rigs uses this set up and I think it's one of the best combinations for a Samurai.
