I have 205/75/16's in my bone-stock 16" Syncro. I can go much taller than that still. I even fitted a 225/65/16 in there just for fun. There's lots of info on this in the archives. The biggest obstacle you will run into are the rear portion of the front wheel arches when you turn the wheels and the rear swingarms in the rear. BenT |
