Fitted some Vitara Fat boy rims today B) had to remove the front mud flaps to stop rubbing, and the rears for aesthetics.
The rims do come mighty close to the steering linkage so had to remove the balance weights of 1 front rim but that's fine, don't need them anyway :blink: Next step is a minor lift of 2" ok maybe 4"....still deciding???

Who need mud flaps anyway, they hide the phat tyres!!

Yep I like the look and the handling is better than it was. Think the rims would work in satin black?? B)

Bled brakes and adjusted rear shoes. Feels much nicer, especially with the correction bracket.

Stripped front end down to find the rust is REALLY bad, so I am going to need a new front panel for sure. Just need to find a decent one with no rust :dry:
