kls · Post by **kls** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 1:24 pm

My notch has been IRS'ed by previous owner, have american eagle 2litre reps on with 195/65/15 and would like to go bigger to 205/70/15

, would these fit or would i have major rubbing issues

,have the new tyres already from a previous project and will try them but just wanted to know if anyone had done it before????

got tyres on the rims today and they fit under the arch ok

may have to higher the rear a little as not much travel on left

Thanks.

I've had a 215/60/16 on a 7" rim under the rear of mine with no rubbing throughout the whole travel of the suspension. Amazing what can fit with the right combination
