Almost 29" of tire and it is a factory size.  They will fit, but you will
have problems in gumbo as there is *just* enough room between the tire and
the rear trailing arm!>>

Hmmm... so where might one find these OEM 16" wheels? Are you speaking of
the 16" steel wheels that came standard on the Syncro 16's? I recall Ken
mentioning that he might be importing them for something over $200 each, but
I got the feeling that this was just in the exploratory stage. Is there
another source you know of here in North America?

Of course, having just plunked down big $ for five 205/70R14R MXT's (which
BTW are FANTASTIC on the highway - even improved my fuel economy
noticeably), this would be a bit late for me...
