Don,
I have LT-235/70-15's on Audi Turbo wheels, and use 8mm spacers all
around. The tires will rub on the battery boxes during a hard turn and
bump, a situation that will soon be cured. Mine is a two wheel Westy
though, your syncro should do better, especially the non-camper. There
are no other clearance problems.
