According to the application guide at www.gorancho.com the only RS 9000 shock that fits a 3rd gen has a part number of RS99187, and these are for the rear only, no front shock available, apparently.

I'm using RS9000 shocks front and rear on my 1996 KZN185W SSR-G.

My Surf has a 4" suspension lift to accomodate the Yokohama Geolandar LT285/75R16 tires.

I had 275 - -75 -16" on my 2nd gen it looked the mutz but played havoc with my front arches, no turninig circle. A lift & spacers would be a better option

yeah, i've got 4" lift... gonna get some spasers cos i tried some wider and they were awful close to the top balljoint.

Also watch the bolts that hold your mudflaps on as the tyres can catch them

overall diameter is 834 mm.

I've no rubbing probs. The tires are just on the same vertical plane as the edge of the fender flares.

You might need wheels with a bigger offset.

HTH.

ok... so what's that in english?...
i think when i looked it was cos i had my steel wheels on they have a small offset they're very close on the inside... still.. no harm in a set of spacers eh!?

what i meant was that my wheels have a big offset such that the tires are located away from the inside of the wheel well.

I'm not familiar with spacers but I've read that a lot of people use it. But the better way would still be to replace your wheels with ones having a bigger offset.
