 My spare tire (225-60-16) fits and there is 0.25" to .375" on eather side
 of the frame rails.  The bolt that holds the tire up there is modified a
 bit... if you are interested I can zip out and take a picture of it an
 pmail it to you (~12K).

 My plan is to go for a 205-80-16 Perelli Scorpion setup.  The stock 16"
 wheels are only 5.5" wide so this gets to be a problem with the wider
 wheels.  Besides skinny tires are better in the snow.

Thanks for the info David, actually I'd like to zip on up there to see your
stuff the next time I cross the border. Maybe a car show or something. Talk to
you later.
