Raising the rear could make for quit an un predictable squirrely ride. Be
sure to have the front caster angle set to compensate. That is a fairly
large tire, (27.5" diameter). Braking performance will suffer. What are
trying to accomplish here. Those tires will not fit in you spare carrier.

Cunegonde has stock '83.5 suspension/hubs/brakes, except for syncro rear
springs. So, will Yokohama Geolandar HT-S 225-70-15s fit in Cunegonde's
wheelwells? New rims are Audi 7 x 15 ET46 (spacers and new bolts on order).
If they do, any special fitment issues? If they don't, recommended size to
exchange them for?
