Anyone fitted larger tyres to there transit?
I'm thinking I could fit 225 75 r16 or 245 70 r 16 or 265 65 r16...
First are fine bodywork wise, second are marginal, third are likely to rub of the weld flange... Most in USA bash it over!
We get snow in Yorkshire and it's a lightly loaded rwd...!
Also I have speed limiter fitted and bigger tyres would take me up to nearer 70mph.
Finally they look better - sad I know!!!
Cheers James

Just to say that fitting wider tyres to your van will actually reduce the traction in the snow
