Default Tire size
Anyone know the biggest tire size that can fit on my 86's stock furchs? I dont like the stock 225 and 205's, im just wonder how big i could go without buying new rims, since i really like my furchs.

If they are 7/8 then 225/50R16 in the front and 245/45R16 in the rear.

If you go to R-compound tyres, Kumho makes a 265/45-16 rear size. Real sticky. But I'd only put that on a 9" wide rim (at least, 10" would be better).
