     Is your syncro 16 as low geared as mine........... the gear ratio
     means 4000rpm at 100kph.........which is a little frantic for
     motorway cruising

What the biggest tire is  that fits into a particular  weel well is  not
only a geometrical  issue,  but at least  here  in Germany also  a legal
issue.  In Germany you  can't simply put  on just any tire.  You'll have
to get approvement  by a technical inspection  engineer, and  that's not
quite easy.  So I really can't answer your question.  Sorry.


Have a nice weekend.


Sincerely
