  1. I did have to do some trimming on the flare near the rocker, took like maybe 3/5" out and rolled my fender in a little near the rockers; if you do a search I beleve 01Silverpathy has a right up on how he did his with a video. It only rubbed at full lock and in reverse but after the trimming it was fine.

  2. What was the backspacing on those wheels?

     

    I bought those rims off of a 4Runner and believe they were 3.75 BS, I still have them today I run my 34x10.5x15 Swampers on them. Here is my pathy now with the same rims:

    I think before you go any farther you should be told that a VLSD WILL NOT perform as desired in a 4x4.

    Viscous Limited Slip Differential, in other words it works off of fluid motion;

    Its action is much like a torque converter requiring high speeds to activate the opposite end. In a car, the VLSD does not engage BOTH tires until at least one of them is propelling you ~30MPH but that's really based on DIFF RPM so in big pathy tires it would be more like 40+ before the VLSD transferred torque over to the loose tire.

     

     

    What I would want (hopefully you do too) Is a CLSD or Clutch Limted Slip Differential

    Its action is based off of a series of clutch plates pressed against each other. Its activation does not require any speed at all and some of them are designed to increase lockup when the input torque (not speed) is increased.

    I believe these units can be found in 84-89 300zx turbo's and the will be identified by finned diff cover with the exception of the white SS Shiro edition which revived a vlsd.

     

    Hope this saves from disappointment in the long run.

     

    I might also add that in an R50 with permanently locked hubs and LSD will generate a level of under steer on the street. You can counter this by installing manual locking hubs and leaving the unlocked when you don't need them.
