I would like to know what mods to the front fender wells you guys are doing to fit the tires. I am looking at some 245/75s to replace my current 235/70s to get a little extra clearance and patch. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Also, joejoekuo, where did you get those springs and the KYBs at? I can find no listing for the type you mentioned here in the states.

Thank in advance,
Nomaad ;D

Sorry for the wait
Here are some pics of my tires and wheel-wells


front wheel/ bumper note that plastic on the bottom of the bumper is cut stright across.  Also the inner plastic sits inside not on top of the outer flar

here you can see where I cut the inner wheel well plastic and rolled the seam over.

What kind of tires are you running? They pretty awesome compared to my Kumhos.

Also, how bad is the cabin noise, and any power left with the new size?

I'm running Yokohama Geolanders A/T+II.  As for road noise very little.  But then again I had BFG MT's on there before now they hummed  ;D

I am sorry I reply this so late. Those springs are made by local turning factory, and customized by my idea. We keep the same calmini spec but longer. And the KYBs are also local product, those absorbers are longer than origial. There are a lots of people who focus on suzuki's market in Taiwan, this is why we can get more choose.

You wouldn't still have the spec's for the springs like rate and length.
