Guest Tcat55371 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Whats the largest OD tire I can run on my 87 GL wagon without causing to many problems? Only off road it sees is gravel once in a while. Winter isn't to far away and I would like to get a little more ground clearance. (Can't afford a lift kit) Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McBrat Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 with the stock 13" wheel, the tallest tire you can get for it is a 185/80. sometimes hard to find, but they are out there... I got some in a Kelly-Springfield tire last year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chef tim Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 On 13" rims I think 185/80/13 is the tallest tyre available. There nor to bad, but still not the same as a 26"/14 on Pugs. Later, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wjmgl10 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 what about some 205/60/R13's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LeoneTurbo Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Too wide for the 5J rims, I use 185/60R13 and they barely fit and already look funny. They are better than stock 185/70R13 though, because the allow more rpm in top gear due to the shorter overall gearing with the flatter tires. Next month I'll order a set of 185/55R14 to go on my 14x6J rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wjmgl10 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 i was looking at some OZ wheels....found the Superturismo Corsa wheels, and i found some Michilen 225/45/R16 Pilot Sports to go with it. The OZ's are availbe in 16, 17 and 18 inch versions, 4 and 5 lug i think. the pic showed 4 lug though. What do ya think about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drOutback Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 yes they do make 4 lug and what they call uni-lug wheels (4 or 5 lug). but these can't be used on any DL, Gl, Gl-10 or Loyale because the width between each wheel stud is very large. The only wheels that fit is Pugoet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
