Ah, Ben Tan...  AKA: "Vanagon Wheel Master" (said with samurai accent).

He does love his Vanagon bling!

BenT, when you going to setup a T3 with 12" wide wheels and hydraulics??

Happy Frydaye,

Even then the wheel will protrude about an inch past the wheel arches. The 255/65/16 tires that they usually come with will not fit an unmodified 2wd. 215-225/55/16 tires can make them work.
