Subject:      Can someone guess if I got my new 255/65/16 rims to fit?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


Got some Mercedes ML320 alloys which came with free 255/65/16 Dunlop tires. I
was going to install it in my 16" Syncro when it arrives.


In the meantime, I thought I would try it on the 2wd van. It was just sitting
there ever so innocently. A little interference in the front but hey???!!! It
fits. I can even use the stock bolts. No drilling required. Just a little
clearancing around the hub.


Out to the back. Hmmm.. looks like it could fit... Yeah fenders clear. OOPS!
damned swing arm is in the way. It would take a 1" spacer to clear the arm
and an extended door U-arm to clear 'em. But they can fit. hehehe. Ya gotta
see how cool looking they look on a Vanagon


I guess it'll have to wait for the 16" Syncro DC.
