I am planning to buy Hakkaapelitta 9's (if I can get them) or 10's (if I
can't). I am currently running on Yokohama Y370 LT 195/75R14 8 ply D
rated tires. I am told that the Hakka's in 195R14 8 ply light truck
rated will stand about 1 inch higher (1 inch greater diameter). Is there
enough clearance in the front wheel well for turns in rough terrain
without scrubbing the tires against the van body?
Thanks in advance, Larry>>>>

Larry,
I've got the Nokia Hakkaapelitta 10's on my 87gl Syncro. I'm on my second
winter season and they're great. Have had no problems with clearance. Let
me know if you have anymore questions.
