Re: Max Tire/Rim Size

With some minor modifications, you can fit a 315. I think someone here was even running 325 M/T's. The height though I wouldnt worry about as much. What height tire you run has more to do with the setup of the car, as it effects rpm at any given speed.

If your going to run as wide a tire as possible, I would make sure you have an adjustable panhard rod to center the axle in the body.
