Subject:Re: [Syncro] 16" Trailing Arms / BIG 15" Tires

I'd love to see the pics.

Despite the research I did in the archives I am realizing the
holes in my questions with each reply. What I want to know
now is:

How wide a tire can I accomidate on 15"x6.5" SA Rheins
without going to 16" type trailing arms or substantial
modification (beyond gearing / ring and pinion changes).
AND still be able to run chains.

Thanks,
Chris
