Subject:      Max Tire Size and Ground Clearance?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Several questions related to improving the ground clearance on a '90 Carat.
Thanks in advance for the contributions.


1. Does anyone know what the maximum tire size is for the later 2wd vanagon?
(I don't mind speedo error and gearing differences, but I don't want rub-  I
was hoping that a modest increase of 205/75-14 would fit)


2.  This question is more of curiosity. In the vanagon specs, I notice the
older 2wd vanagons (ie. '84) have a ground clearance of 7.5" while my '90 is
rated at 6.3".  What explains the difference here?
