Hi menzo and welcome to FTE

That seems to be a pretty popular question on here. If you do a search with the search button near the top of the page you'll probably find some answers. And chances are pretty good you'll get more answers here too.

oversize tires

Also.......it needs to be said that putting on larger tires will cause MANY problems that most people dont think about...loss in power....change in the correct reading of the speedometer....rubbing of the undercarriage.....just to mention a few. Now....for a personal reason...I think it looks really bad when tires are not given the proper lift on a vehicle.
