Some of the vitara diffs are 26 spline and so are a direct fit. But you'll just end up breaking the aluminium housing, so swapping the ring and pinion over is the go. Have a read here: http://suzukiclubuk.co.uk/diy/16-transmission/38-vitara-ring-and-pinion-conversion great, thanks for this. helpful...

can someone tell me whether a vitara diff will fit into a SJ413 axle? (excuse the poor terminology lol)

just looking into regearing options for my SJ,

cheers

Anybody used these guys? http://www.wallycustoms.com/ Stumbled across them through a Trade Me listing for their trayback Vitara on 35s.... looks like some cool work they do. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f5042a_35b05ffc48b44c74bb407b5c44a333e7~mv1.jpg/v1/fill/w_1247,h_701,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1....

Depends on your rim width and tyre combo what offset suits. Is the truck on the road? need to keep the tyres in the guards? From memory, the 15x8 -19 stuck the tyre just too far out the guard for a wof. Would suit the samurai I expect. well its got a set of 27s on atm..... but want to get 31 by 10....

ok, would you recommend about a -20mm offset or that a bit much?

I ran cj jeep rims on mine for a bit. 15x8 though so a bit wide. Do be careful as rims with the correct offset for a samurai can scrub the springs like you are worried about because the 413 diff is slightly narrower. You can set up steering limit bolts to fix it but you increase your turning radius...

ok, thats intersting, didnt know that.

huh??

Hey man, thanks for the offer, appreciate it.

however i want to get the zuk road legal..... not sure if flipped rims are legal?

hey guys. i have a SJ 413 and want to fit larger tyres, however i am pretty certain i need more offset as the tyre is most likely going to hit the leaf when at hard lock. So im wondering if there are any wheels that are fitted as OEM to other vehicles that will fit the SJ stud pattern, but also give...
