I have no prob.w/ clearance, i have no idea of the current gears,some say that a 4:10 gears should do it.would it cost much to change gears? thanks

Answer 1

You'll be making that 2 liter work awfully hard. You want your engine to work within it's power band. Find out what your current gear ratio/tire size/final drive ratios are and your desired RPM range is and use them as a base line.Here's a gear ratio calculator you can use to help once you get all of the numbers.

Answer 2

yeah should be fine...just make sure your not putting to much stress on the engine with those tires, you'll need more power to make up for those big tires, put a air intake in there from like AME or K&N or something and change out your spark plugs to ones with a hotter spark then you should be fine...
