    do you think the 35's will fit or is max only 33

    all i did was install the 912's and cranked the hell out of the torsion bar.
    I was planning on putting 35's on as soon as I need a new set of tires. Yes you can fit the 35's on there, there are a few things you will need to do to get them to fit:

    -2" spacers from Independent4x
    -Trim back of front wheel wells quite a bit
    -Hammer in metal on the back of the front wheel wells quite a bit more
    -Crank torsion bars a little more

    Not necessary but highly recommended:
    -Diff drop brackets to help your poor CV's out
    -Higher gears 4.78 or 5.38 in the diffs

    Oh and someone already has those rims and tires on their VX, name is: jwatk1ns

    I would think a couple inches of body lift might help fit 35's also...

    Yeah very true and probably necessary for 36"+ tires but I think we might be able to get away with 35's and no body lift. I will tell you for sure as soon as my current 33's need replacing

    WOOHOO!!!!! I already have the 4.78's in but with 35's I am thinking 5.38's would be great too are you planning on swapping gears? Did you already drop the diffs I don't remember?
