Subject:bigger wheels f/ syncro

Hi Derek - or collective Syncronies,
 I missed the posts leading up to the order below. My question is-
What's the largest wheel/tire combo that's practical for a syncro? By
practical I mean without driveshaft or rear trailing arm modifications.
I would, however, be willing to cut out my wheel wells and install the
fender lips to get some 16" on. Derek, is this all you're doing or are
you going full mods? My main goal is more clearance and lower RPM's at
highway speeds.
Gracie,
Jay

PS- Thanks Helmut, you're the man!
