Will these wheels/tyrs fit my Escudo!?

Hey!

Simple question, hoping there's a simple positive answer :)

1991 Suzuki Escudo Nomade (1600cc SOHC 16valve injected 4-door 5-spped manual LWB).

Will 30x9.5" mud tyres on 15x8 -18et wheels fit with NO lift?

Thanks :)

WTD: 1991 Suzuki Vitara/Escudo lift!

Does anyone have a new or second hand lift for sale for a 1991 Escudo Nomade? 4-door IFS 1600cc SOHC 16-valve injected model.

Don't really mind if it's body, spring or spring spacers - depends on price and condition.

Not looking for anything over a 3" lift, prefer 2".

Cheers.

Re: Will these spring spacers fit my Escudo?

If your springs aren't tapered it shouldn't matter where you measure them. Pretty certain the suspension is the same By eye they don't appear to be tapered, but looking from the angles I need to it is hard to tell. That's why I wanted to measure to be sure, which I can't do without taking the sprin...

Should do. I think I bought the same for my Vitara. Should be plenty of room to get a tape in there and measure your springs Na man my phone barely fits in there :twisted: I can measure the diameter about half way up fine, but top is impossible due to bump stop (with a tape measure, all I have hand...

Will these spring spacers fit my Escudo?

Hey guys :) I have just picked up a little 1991 Suzuki Escudo Nomade as a wee beach/bush hack! Have owned plenty of 4x4's in the past so not a newbie to that, but definitely a newbie to anything Suzuki! The engine is a 1600cc SOHC 16 valve injected engine and a 5 speed manual gearbox. It is a 4-door...

The first I heard of it was since 2005 all Navara's went to an odd-ball stud pattern of 6x114.3

The guy you know, what years are his ST and STX?

16x10" steel 4x4 wheels for a 2014 Nissan Navara (6x114.3)

As the title says does anyone know if these are out there and where to find them?

Don't want to go the route of re-drilling or spacer adapters to change the pattern if I don't have to

Any help much appreciated

Re: Spungy brakes after turning right?

The metal part of the brake line was twisted and not routed correctly when I got the truck back, I had to take the caliper off and attempt to bend and re-route it correctly (with not complete success, although it's a lot better and closely resembles the other side now). Also bled the brakes via that...

Yep does this flange on the diff need to be removed though or can the axle just be pulled out?

Yea not too sure - it's a KZN130, '95 or '94 can't remember but one of the two, does anyone else know what needs to be taken out and drained or what the story is to limp it home without the front right axle?

Can you limp a Surf home with front drivers side axle out?

Can you (slowly) drive a KZN130 Surf with the drivers side front axle removed completely? Mate needs to limp his Surf home - I'm under the impression you should be able to drive it with it removed but can anyone here give a definitive answer?
