I have a VH Wagon and am in the process of getting a VL diff built to suit.
There's currently 17 x 8 with 225's, can just fit my hand up between the wheel and the guard so not a lot left over but a good fit, don't think with current setup would go any bigger though.
Now, as a bit of a newbie to doing a rebuild this ones got me confused. I'm putting a 355 in with about 450 so need some decent tread on the rear, how do I go about picking the right wheels and offset with a new diff being built at the same time ?
The diff is going to be shortened, evidently can only shorten the wagon diff about 25mm says the diff builder.
Another company is building billet axels to suit and told me to just go buy the wheels I want and they'll do the rest and make it fit.
There's seems to be plenty of room on the inside of the rim to go bigger, hopefully a 245 but surely I need to work out an offset and the rest gets built to fit that ?
Should I try and work out the offset of the current old rims and go from there ?
Confused as F.
