Subject:      Max tire size

What's the generally accepted maximum permissable tire size with 15"
wheels?  My Westy came with 225/70s or 225/75s (I forget which at the
moment) on it when I purchased it.  After tiring of the front tires
rubbing every time I entered a driveway w/ the wheels turned, I replaced
the front shocks.  The situation is better, but still not resolved.

Are the tires simply too big or is this a spring sag issue?

Cheers,
JD
'86 Westy
