Hi, can anyone help me with tyres for my 413. I want to put federals,31 X 10.5 on it but they rub on the front springs (when i turn)and the inside of the back guards . my rims are 15 x 7 with aparently 0 offset. which wheels would i need .Tyre shop told me that 15 X 8 with -19 off set would rub the same .

You can get the centres cut out and moved. Can have whatever offset you wan then.

I dont think they will fit without some body work. I could be wrong but I know 30's fill the guards and rub without any lifts (body and suspension).

I imagine you would need a body lift of at least 1 inch and to shift the front axle forwards about 25mm as well, get some larger offset wheels and then cut/flare the guards also.

Gearing will be a problem, slipping the clutch all the time to get moving and going downhill will be an "experience". Factor in a transfer case gearing upgrade or at least the diff ratios.

Of course turning those bigger tyres and stopping them with std brakes, and axles is going to be a pain also.
The increase in rotational mass is going to max out the brakes so you will need to consider a brake upgrade. The torque required to get them moving will increase the pressure on the axles and CV's. Getting the little engine to produce the power to spin the tyres to clear them is going to drive you insane too.

It's all do able, but not cheap.

Thanks for the ideas, I have considered moving the wheel centers ,but i think i would have to get them certified then.
I should also mention that my 413 has been modified in the past ,its got disc brakes all round.Im not sure of the diff ratio but when i turn the wheel once the drive shaft looks to turn not quite 4 times. i havent tried the transfercase yet. She also has a 4age in it with a nissan 5 speed box .And power steering .Im still trying to figger out what else has been done to it.50m spring lift i think.i have only had it a couple of weeks.
cheers

its not this one is it?

Sure is!!

Thats a nice zuk. A mate looked at buying it awhile back. 31's should fit no problems, but if they are hitting the springs, you need to get some wheels with more offset. It used to run 31's from memory

Looks like its had the guards chopped already - good score!

wanna sell it

I have had the 15 x 7s in at a shop getting the centres shifted . I tried a set of 33s silverstones on rims with shifted centres on her the other day and they fitted fine

No thanks ive just got it.
Does any one now who used to own it,

A guy matt used to own it bout 5 years ago. Did national trials in A class while still be road registered, as you can see in pics would of been on 15 x 8s with centres shifted
Damn nice zook

The shit never sleeps....

I have a sj413 with 31x10.5x15 on 15x8 rims with -24 offset and maxi track lift springs and the only rubbing problem i had was on the mounts for the front bumper so i just cut them off
