 2WD, Syncro or 16"? I have 205/75/16's in my bone-stock 16" Syncro. I can go
much taller than that still. I even fitted a 225/65/16 in there just for fun.
There's lots of info on this in the archives. The biggest obstacle you will
run into are the rear portion of the front wheel arches when you turn the
wheels and the rear swingarms in the rear.
