think you'll need modulars with more offset than the standard wheels and I would go for wider wheels 7.5" if fitting 31x10.5x15 or 10" if fitting the Mudzillas
you will need to do a 4.5" spring lift and a 2" body lift to fit the Mudzillas and then trim back the wheel arches
you should get away without the body lift if you're fitting the 31"s

I was reading on Difflock, a guy has fitted 30x9.5x15's on a 6J rim ... not sure I would put a 31 on anything smaller than a 7J

Do they have to be modulars?

I've seen a 4,5" spring lift kit somewhere on the internet, but now I can't remember where. Perhaps you can enlighten me? :-)

Okay, www.dgtuning.com have them, but it should be possible to find it cheaper, right :-)

Okay, thanks. I'm almost sure I saw a cheaper kit somewhere. Well, just have to keep searching :-)

Or else, I think I'll just go with a cheaper 3" spring lift and then perhaps also 2" body lift if needed :-)

No - they're just cheap for new wheels - you could also use vitara fatboy alloys - they are 10" wide and cheap off ebay
