My Bugeye has 175/70's on 5.5" wide Minitors.  Had to space out on front 
1//4". Also spaced out rear 1/8" to clear springs.  You can install most 
any size you can find.  But it may require some modifications such as 
spacers and longer studs.  I have a friend that runs 185/70's/.  Before 
installing the Minitors, I had 165/80's on stock steel wheels.  No 
interference at all.

        <div>They are on the tall side and also wide-ish so may rub on
          the inner arch at the rear, not sure about the front.  Despite
          what anyone else might tell you, whether or not a tyre will
          rub or not doesn't just depend on the width but also the
          actual ride height.  The reason for this is that the ride
          height will put the fattest part of the tyre (not necessarily

          wheel well.  Wheel 'dish' offset/inset will also vary how the
