81BRAT Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Like the title says what are the biggest wheels you can fit on a gen 1 brat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 With the stock 13" steelies maybe just 185/70's but with pugs maybe a 205/65/14 or with the 15's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subieguy Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Make sure that whatever you put on that you test it before you buy or install it. The Gen 1 Brats have a different backspacing. I discovered that when I tried to put stock subie steelies from a 88 XT on my 78 Brat. The backspacing was wrong and the rear wheels did not fit. Well they fit, They just would not roll. Some of the guys on here should be able to give you exact specs as to what will clear in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 also your springs will make a heck of a difference, if there fresh you will be able to get away with more, and if there weak, then the tires might rub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
