For those with Vitara's and looking to get that little bit more out of them here are a couple mods to consider. They do require welding.
Front end widening

Rear axle rotation

Following on from the axle rotation if you also shave the diff you will gain a substantial amount of diff clearance too.
Kerry Wittig in the USA shaved his diff in conjunction with the axle rotation gaining 48mm (1&7/8”) clearance using ¼” plate and replaced the 2 bottom carrier mounting "studs" with bolts for draining the oil.
