Default Lowest Gears?

What is the lowest gear size I can run with a stock G80? I am looking at installing some 4.56's will that work?

If you're in there replacing the gears, then replace the G80 too. I see you're running some decent sized tires, and you're going the performance route, so that think will blow possibly damaging your new gears.

With 35's i'd definitely go 4.56 especially if you plan on towing at all. If you do a lot of highway driving AND are going FI somwhere down the road and not towing i'd get 4.10.
