Subject:larger tires and wheels
From:Pat Patterson
Date:Sat, 17 Oct 2009 12:45:56 EDT

I had 225 65 16 Nokians all around with GW lift springs and they worked
great.  I wanted bigger and put on Uniroyal 225 75 16's.  They fit  fine in
the rear but rub the front and rear of the front wheel fenders when  turning
and braking.  Has anyone successfully trimmed their wheel  wells?  I don't
mind doing it if they will clear but would be really bummed  if they rubbed.
I have an 86 2wd with Audi 7.5 inch wide wheels with 7 mm  spacers.  With
big brakes and a 2.5 Subi it will go up and down grades fine  with the bigger
tires even when towing.
