3" back spacing on the wheels. The tire size on the shoes in the picture are 33x12.50 s (my tar baby's) I run 32x11.50 s on 2" back Mojocks  when wheeling it. I'm not a fan of spacers. I've seen to many disasters caused by them.
 Yes  I built the exo. It's 125 dom with 1.75 grinders mated to heavily modified Calmini tube bumpers.
 Thanks for the kind words...Boxcar...

I think the other guys have ya headed in the rite direction so there is no need for additional comment about lifts...

You can take those Ford rims to a machine shop and have the centers bored out to 4.25 and they will fit over the lockouts. I have a set that I did on a Bridgeport Mill in the shop for my Vitara.

They fit on the Sammi but the backspace is every so close to the calipers without wheel spacers. If you run much mud you should expect to have it packed around the Calipers.


Does this spare rim look familiar? LOL...

Thanks tuxblacray. That is awesome news. I figured I couldn't be the first to try to fit those rims to a sami. I have talked to the shop near me & they figure they could do it for less than $100 for all 4. I think I'm gonna look for a 5th as a spare too. Bet that cost me more than $100.

Boxcar... The check is in the mail. You should see it soon.

Nice Zuke Tuxblacray....Boxcar...

It's gettin there Boxcar... Old Guyz gotta have a project... This winter No Corvette.... Sammi instead... LOL...

$100 is pretty good. We charge $70 per hour for labor rate. It takes over an hour to run these by the time you set the mill up, lug the tire / rim around, get them up on the mill to run...

I'm gonna have to double check with them caz it sounded a bit low to me. They did request that I have the tires removed before bringing them in.

Unless they have a really small mill they should be able to center them up and chuck them down without any problems. I did 4 of them with 235/75/15 and 1 with a 31/10.5 /15 on them with no problem at all on a Bridgeport Mill....

Lower the table down... throw the wheel up... center.... indicate it in.... lock it down... mill.... pretty simple

Boxcar you are awesome. The cluster came today & has already been installed. It works great.


BTW I was glad to see you in that other forum. Those people need someone like you to answer their questions.

Yea. They hate me allready....Bunch of knuckle heads....
 Glad you like the cluster.
Keep posting your progress. It's gonna be a great Zuke............Boxcar.......

Hey Tuxblacray,

I don't know how much you check into that other forum so I duped my post over here. You guys are great here. A big for all of your help. You don't realize how rare it is to get good answers rapidly from other forum based places like this.
As an admin of a software forum myself, I didn't want to say the name of this forum as that isn't really fair. What I did want was for their other members to know that there are other places to get help & advice.  Maybe they'll search & find this place.

BTW: All of my parts are in now & I'll be beginning my build next week. As for the rims I decided to do them myself (without a mill). How you might ask... I went old school with my router & 2 flush trim bits. 1 with bearing on top & the other with a smaller bearing on the bottom. The first rim is done & it came out great.

I don't spend much time there. Mostly because alot of the folks are outside of the USA. Nothing against that but it makes some things more difficult. Parts to them, from them as an example. Likewise only a few folks would respond.

As you probally saw I don't have a problem in telling folks about Zukiworld, Zuwarrie, ZukiKrawlers.... In no way am I saying I don't like it here... My windshield banner says otherwise! But, when it comes down to finding information about Zuks, or parts, or events then its and all for one deal. Helping each other get the answers they need is the right attitude.

At any rate I am pleased to see your build is in progress! If there is anyway I can help just post up or send me a PM.... I'll be around as long as I'm above ground....

Could you PM with details and a picture of how you did this? I have access to a router but not a mill and every place with a mill won't touch rims for some reason.

I'll make a post about how I did this with a router as soon as I get some time & my camera connected to my pc. But if you look on the home depot site & search for router bits you can find the bits I used. They are both flush trim bits & 3/4 inch 1 with bearing at the top & 1 at the bottom. If you look at the bits you may be able to see how it was done.

Hey Guys/Gals,
My swisszuki is progressing very nicely. I had a long break from it due to an injury but am back on track now. Will post picks of the build when I'm done.
I do need some more advice from you knowledgeable folks.
As you know I am running the Sky stage 5 SPOA kit with OTT steering. I have run into a small problem with the sway bar & steering link hitting each other while turning to the left. I think I want to keep my sway bar since it will be mostly a daily driver. Does anyone make extensions for the sway bar? Do any of you run your sway bar with the SPOA lift? What did you do to make it work?
As always... Any & all info provided is greatly appreciated.
