Beauc Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Just a note not interested in full tub conversion info as my mates already done it in his ke30 5.0L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 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..

coln72 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I know that 225/60/13's will go under a rear of a ke35 with a slight lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 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.

amwtoy Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just a note not interested in full tub conversion info as my mates already done it in his ke30 5.0L. hi mate I'm interested in tubbing my ke30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob83ke70 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 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! Robert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 215's sitting under stock 38 guards. wouldnt wanna go more than 225 in a stock guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob83ke70 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TE278U Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 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: -dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
