For all:
Even if you get the offset correct to
avoid hitting fender lips, that big a
diameter is going to rub a lot on the
inside of the rear wheel wells. Maybe
a 205 will fit, but I would suggest
a 50 series, or even anything you can
get even sqatter, 45 etc.
For Sel: I have 195X14X60 Falken Azenis
on mine, and they hit the inside
rear wheel wells on medium and large
bumps and on really fast corners.
I can measure the diameter if you would
like, E-mail me SEPCOR.
Best Regards,
Jim
