The bolt that holds the tire up there is modified a bit... if you are interested I can zip out and take a picture of it an pmail it to you (~12K). My plan is to go for a 205-80-16 Perelli Scorpion setup. The stock 16" wheels are only 5.5" wide so this gets to be a problem with the wider wheels. Besides skinny tires are better in the snow.
