I've read about some mods to offroad a Geo: http://www.madscientistcustoms.com/Cars/GeoM.html However, I haven't seen anything out there on gnarly knobby tires that fit on a Geo (with or without a lift). The idea here is two sets of tires - good all season for commuting - then change the tires to knobbies for weekend mud. --------- EDIT: Answered my own question! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2337440/1990-geo-metro ![]() Here's what he says:
Apparently too much off roading tore the underbelly of his Geo. With some good reinforcement, a 2-3 inch lift and a skid plate with these tires - that'd make one hell of a combo! Monday-Friday - low rolling resistance commuter tires for MPG. Weekend mud trips - swap these guys on and go climbing! Edited by maxmpg, Feb 2 2011, 01:27 AM.

I wanted to do this with a Geo to take it mudding at Yankee Lake Truck Night, but just finding a solid car around here is rare let alone tearing it up in the mud. The front lower rad support is weak and radiator location is not ideal and also the alternator would be submerged alot. |
