Biggest tyres fitted on a mk1/2

Postby Vegard » Fri Dec 17, 2021 10:49 am

Has anyone ever succeded in fitting 15" steel Transit wheels with for instance 215/75-15 tyres without problems? What about 235/75-15?

Raising the suspension on the front is dead easy, but how tall "blocks" are Ok on the rear before you really need a 2-link?

That's good news. However to me it seems as the front may be the limiting factor. Isn't it?
