    32"s and gearing

    Is there a crown wheel and pinion gear ratio to suit 32s or do people only start changing from 33s and up cheers

    No need for 32's, 33's i've heard arent too bad on stock gearing with a tdi but 4.11 will return it near enough to stock.

    4.11 will be too much for 32s but bang on for 33s.
    Ashcroft do a 3.75 HD CW&P which will bring you basically back to stock on 32s, at least on a D2 they will.

    I have 2 diffs with 4.11's sitting in my shed to go into my D2 with 32 inch tyres. How it will go I don't know other than it will be revving a tad higher in top gear.

    I did do a calculation a while ago and I think it was about 250 rpm.

    4.11:1
    32" 124 ish kmh on speedo =110 road speed
    33" 118 = 110
    34" 113 = 110
    35" roughly spot on

    These are not calculated but driving and comparing speedo to gps so plenty of room for variance there

    Somebody may chime in with calcs.

    I hated 32" on stock gearing. Too much clutch slip required for hill starts and low range became too tall IMO
