my v6 niva on 750/16 tyres :-)

Just a few pics:

still need to finish building my rear bumper, and cut the second window panel out. I'm doing the rear windows so they fit inside the standard rubbers for now. They won't always be like this, but if I commit to welding them up then if I don't like them I'm stuck.

This is with my 60mm lift, and arches cut back, front inner wheelarches have been "tickled" Wink

into position

Will be resprayed soon (blue).

No reason why you can't do the same (or similar) to a Sportrak!
Looking good Simon! See you Saturday!

thanks stal Smile

My brother has a fourtrack the same as yours. Not used it in anger properly yet but it seems very capable. I would give my left kidney for a solid front axle!

Hoodoo - be good to catch up with you Smile

haha, Maybe you should "borrow" his 'trak one sunday.... Twisted Evil

Live axle

But! Have you seen Parrots Fourtrak? His is torsion front coils back and his is fantastic off-road, it has been "slightly" modified though! Smile

yeah edited it as I had not looked at the pics so thought Looking "good" did not quiet describe the look" wicked "does he he and wanted to know how tall they were.
So are you getting any rubbing anywhere? I have to try and fit the 31"silverstones under and thought I would be ok with the guard trim and a bit of a tickle to the front arch around the foot well area.

I guess it's all dependant on the width of your tyres. these are no wider than my 215 15's, so I think that helps me out a lot. I've flexed it out, and I'm getting a bit of contact inside the rear arches, but it's above the spring seat and it's rubbing the side wall. I'm putting this down to the fact that it's lifted high and has a standard panhard which is pulling the axle over (it is noticeable when you look at it) hopefully when I've done that it sould be fine

have 31" silverstones on jimny rims as my 2nd set of tyres. Needed to trim the entire rear guard and on the front trimed off the outer edge and had to cut the foot well on one side.
Would have fitted easier if I used rims closer to standard niva offset.

sweet well I have three sets of different rims, two are suzuki and one is the ROH that NZ lada put on, will see which has the best offset. am hoping that booger looks as mean as yours simon.

thanks

my wheels are suzuki wellers. They must be aftermarket or something because I've not seen another set like them. they are offset the same as jimny wheels, but are 16"

They were also chrome to start with... that was soon sorted out!

I bought some 700/16 sat tyres for mine for off roading on, what metric size are these?.
Good to see 750/16 tyres fit as well, thought i was going to tall with mine.
