I have a 96 lego L stock that will need tires soon. I'd like to put some OB suspension and or lift but I'm going to need new tires before any of that is going to happen as my general ats that came with the car are wearing down quick....

 

I would like to get as large a tire as possible without having to modify/remove such things like the strut guard.

 

would 205/70/14 or 205/75/14 be to much? I have read that on 1st gen legos 195/70/14 tires do not rub. I could not find a post about 2nd gen stock ride height tire size.

 

all helpful info appreciated, thanks in advance!

I believe you can fit a 205 width without rubbing the strut body. Not sure on height exactly. A 195/70 should fit just fine.

tirerack.com lets me select 205/75/14 tires with my vehicle, anything larger and it tells me the tires are not for my vehicle.

 

205/75/14 are much taller than 195/70/14 and if going from stock tire size to the larger I would gain almost an inch of ground clearance.

 

I'm going to do some measuring and make sure that guard wont rub.
