Get the beasts on then worry about it mate. Seen some 2.4 (non turbo) pick up runnin 35's. Mind you they might have different gearing.
Just leave the house 30 mins earlier for any journey and i'm sure they will be fine

DOOOO IT
DO IT
Cant wait to see this on 35's!! I wish I had put 33's on as my old muds were 285/85 I think which is nearly 33 ? they didnt rub too much and I only got 1.5" body lift and they were better on the motorway. if you got a hammer you'll be fine!

Tyres are in the hands of the local fitters - there packed at the moment so they will be ready tomorrow.
Awesome news is the guy who runs the place has a Dodge ram! He lives local an said to save me messin around he will drop them off tomorrow after he finishes work
LEGEND!
Smiffy - ive seen 2.4 N/A pickups on 35's too mate! Theres one for sale on elite4x4 at the moment!
If they can run them then the surf must be able to do something with them!
I was going back an forth in my head for sooooo long 33s - 35's I couldnt make up my mind - i dont know why i went with 35's but f**k it! I dont care if its slow, i dont care if its useless!! This truck hasnt been built for practicality! I already cant get in any carparks! My dad had to give me a lift so i can visit my mate in hospital cuz i cant get under the barrier - even the local megabowl has a limit bar - sh!t happens. I'll live with it - an while i am! Im gunna be lovin it
ohh - had some kid shout "Nice truck" crazy loud at me whilst driving back today
LOVE IT!!!!

2.4 N/A would HAVE to be lower geared to turn 35s, surely!
I mean, a 2.4 N/A must be (to quote JC) "like an asthmatic sitting on the dashboard blowing at you through a straw".
I know you dont need huge power offroad, but you do need SOME!Cutting steps in the roof of the world

my 1st surf (bless it) had a 2.4 NA engine swap out of a pickup!! That was slow - but i had it a year an i was cool with it. 0-60 a year!

people love my truck round here! Everyones fairly positive 4x4! Ask Stormforce - some bloke was shouting how he loved our trucks when he was up here!!
you wont get that cr8p in london

im an old woman when it comes to spending money! I need to be 100% sure!
I really hope it works too - otherwise i'll look a total pillock an have to fork out more for tyres to be changed!!
at the very latest - saturday morning will be 'fitting & beating' day
