What ever is 29" tall will fit if you don't do serious bouncing around.
Generally 28" tall will fit without problems unless you are running a weird
wheel or have lowered the vehicle.

On my Syncro, stock ride height, I have 6.50x16 and they don't rub... but
JUST.  These are 29.4" tall.

Subject: Max tire size

What's the generally accepted maximum permissable tire size with 15"
wheels?  My Westy came with 225/70s or 225/75s (I forget which at the
moment) on it when I purchased it.  After tiring of the front tires
rubbing every time I entered a driveway w/ the wheels turned, I replaced
the front shocks.  The situation is better, but still not resolved.

Are the tires simply too big or is this a spring sag issue?

Cheers,
JD
