Does anybody know the biggest tyre that you will fit under a standard ke30 wheel arch?

What is the better option for a diff conversion without spending loads on say the likes of cutting

down a hilux and modifying it?

 

Anyone done mini tubs before?

 

Sorry if they have been answered before but search is a c**t.

Just a note not interested in full tub conversion info as my mates already done it in his ke30 5.0L.

I have had a 205 tyre under the front of a KE35. My rears are flared so I don't know whether the 205 would also fit under the rear.

 

By the looks of your signature you are putting a rotary in the car. I would suggest you go to the effort of doing a hilux type conversion. My race car has a T-series (Celica/Corona) rear end in it but I don't think it would last that long behind a serious horsepower engine.

Yeah might have to spend the money, i've had an rx7 with hiflow turbo etc and it will be more than enough with something like that in the corolla, thanks for the info dude.

 

Also, anyone reccomend a particular model of hilux diff or diff ratio to choose? I want it to be fairly aggressive

but still have a bit left in the top end..

I know that 225/60/13's will go under a rear of a ke35 with a slight lip.

I had 205's running under stock rear guards. could probably get away with 215's under a stock guard with some clearance on the inside. Ive had a look underneath a 55 on a rotiserie and even if you mini tub the rear you can't go much further without coming too close to the leaf spring.

i have 185/60/14 on my KE-30

lol i had 215/**/17''in only on the back tho

thay didnt fit on the front ay

front wheel drive offset i think

 

and all so this photo of the ke30 is dumped on its ass

tail sharft is banging around underneth the car when

i boot it lol silly i no but now she is back to stock hight

:P

hi mate I'm interested in tubbing my ke30

I'm fairly sure 215/60r13 fits under a ke30 with the right offset.... JUST.... got to bash guards slightly...

 

I've got a toyota dyna in the yard being rebuild and I've been eyeing off the g142 diff in it, thinking about when the 4agte goes into the ke20, a G series diff *seems* like a bit of overkill, but every ratio known to man in lsd or open centre is available for it and you couldn't kill one!!

 

When the 4agte eventually happens I'm planning on making a GOOD job of it!

Confirmed. I have 215's sitting under stock 38 guards. wouldnt wanna go more than 225 in a stock guard.

Can I add that I much rather 185/60r14 than my old 215/60r13...

 

I might be giving 195/50r15 a go sooner or later as well.

 

Robert.

a tape measure should confirm how wide the tyre can fit in the guard, then offset will be the governing factor as to how much of that measurement can fit under, or hangs out.

 

good luck :S

 

a ke30 should fit an 8" slick without tubbing, just won't be able to slam it on it's ass.

 

ke20's are known in the drag scene as having the largest rear wheel wells from factory (as far as jap stuff goes...)

 

i'll be keen to see what you end up doing :dance:

Cheers guys, thinking about with going something cheap and easy for a diff, maybe commodore now, Have enough funds for the motor and box now

full steam ahead :hmm:
