My new baby
« on: August 06, 2010, 11:47:22 AM »
Hey guys, I have been a lurker for a while, hoping to get a Tracker\Vitara. Well yesterday I finally drover her home.







She's looking a little plain, not sure where to start.

Nice Zuki! You could start by sending me that hardtop and going topless :P Wish mine had a hardtop! That's such a clean hardtop with curved rear glass and a defroster it must be stock.  I know what my next ride will be!

I will be contacting you in the near future Jeff, are you in Canada? Yeah I want to do the life but I did get a little more height by just sticking some 225 Goodyear Wrangler tires on it last week. It looks so much better. Today I just put on door moldings, that helped too. I'll post some updated pics soon.

Hey guys, I am thinking about wheel spacers, to increase the stance. It looks a little skinny to me, any thoughts on spacers?

I like my Spidertax 1" spacers.  They've been on for almost a year with no problems.  Actually I should have gone with the 1.5" spacers. Just keep in mind that it will change how the inside edges of the tires clear the fenders and could result in rub.  They do reduce frame rub however.  I'm running 265's and I still have frame rub even with the spacers so i wouldn't want to go without them.  Looks good and gandles good.

NinjaViper - do your 225 tires rub the frame at all on full lock?  I have 215's and they rub a little but they are a very square shouldered tire so I was wondering how yours were.

I used 1.5" wheel spacers on my 97 Sidekick for 4 years and had no issues. I loved the way it made the stance wider without getting new offset rims. My frame rub was eliminated but it did rub at the corners more. I was running 31" Swamper LTB's with the huge side cleats though. Just my .02. You still need a lift though, hint, hint.  :laugh:
