Finally put 31s on

After a lot of pondering finally put on 31s, malatesa kaimans from tyres direct. Was a bit worried about how it would pull afterwards but not bad really. Couple of pics, there's one half way 31 front and 215/80 on the back, measurement wise not a huge amount but they look loads bigger I think.





Will stick the old 215s up for sale if anyone's interested, their in pretty good nick

Nice! Which front springs you have for this bumper + winch? Looks nice, but I think it's heavy?

Hi looks grate . Just out of intrest what size does it say on the sidewall ?thanks

Will be 31/10.5/15 that's what's on my insa turbos

Ah ok just mine say 235 75 15 . Which is 29 inch . So was wondering what the 31s would be

What mods have to be done to get these to fit ?

I have 31s on my Jimny, is not a simple task, but here is what i have done (over time):

Remove ALL plastics from all Inner Arches
Outer Arches will need to be seriously cut back - actually, just get rid of them and fit external LR arches.
Extended braided brake hoses for the front - rears are ok as standard
3" Lifted Springs
Fit Wheel Spacers or good offset rims
Using your BFH flatten back seams on front arches - ideally cut and shut inner front arches.
Fit correct shock absorbers - i have ES9000 - hard but are good to stop tryes rubbing
The 31s will require a Rock Lobster (or eqivilant) - I have a Rob Storr 6.5:1 SJ Transfer case and customer Props
Stronger Panhards, as when you start off-roading with 31s you'll be going to tougher plces, and the standard Jimny Panhards are made of plastercine
Stronger Radius Arms all around, or caster corrected bushes

....

there might be more that others will will come in with ... but thats my quick list ...

Oh, and it costs a fair bit of cash and takes time!!

Yup as the bloke above said, same mods over time, one thing leads to another really, I put 215s on first.

Only other thing is i put stronger half shaft in as their a week spot too. I haven't taken all the arch liners out but guess I will, my tyres rubbing a bit on defender arches offroad, guess I'll need to cut them back a bit too, or was thinking lifting the body an inch, already 4" suspension lift. All adds up!

Didn't know about the panhard though, do you know where I can get em?

Cheers

Maybe i start off with 215 first and who knows in time ......
Looks great though

wont be long before you get sick of being diffed out in little puddles.....

im going 235 and auto transfer... when my 215 are bald...

Cheers, yeah i wanted to go with the 31s for ages but was a bit worried about the trade off, glad I did though. Forgot to say one other mod was a g16b in it, not sure youd want to drive that far in it with the 1.3 in, might take a while up long slow hills all depends though eh

I did keep getting beached on the diffs before which was a pain, but them landys do like to make deep ruts, can always try and stay out of the ruts, not always that easy though.
