Dear David,

Seems there are more opinions than (insert word) when it comes to tire sizes!

I'm planning on installing 16" rims next year when I complete the TDI transformation for my Syncro. I'm interested in installing 235/70 16 BFG All Terrains. Wheels will be 7 1/2" wide with ET20 offset.

Will this setup as described above clear the trailing arm and fender lips?

Cheers,
