"Does a 215/65/16 tire fit fully inflated into a syncro clamshell with little or no modification?" Mine didn't. I had to mod the hinges on the clamshell, remove the stock rods, and deflate the tire. Other than that, works great! ;>) Same size tires as yours. I've got the C2 Hakka's. Here's a link to some pix of the hinge mod. Click "next" for some more views. It effectively drops the back of the clamshell about 2". http://groups.msn.com/BobsPhotoShare/87westysyncro.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=981 Bob Stevens '87 Westy Syncro "Passion Fruit" |
