Wagon Wheel Offset - Tire Size

[ssbrewskyaz]

I know there's a bunch of you guys out there that know what wheel offsets and tire sizes work on G Wagons. Really only looking for sizes up to seventeen inch.

I'm looking for the largest rear wheel / tire combination I can stuff under the rear for sure and the second largest size I can stuff under the front. No body modifications to the car but it has been lowered two front and one rear. I may consider pinching the rear inner lip if I can get a significant size improvement by doing that.

I'm really looking for combinations you know work and even those that have the occasional rub are OK. Not looking to rotate the Earth but I would like to get as much rubber on the ground as possible. If the Earth moves, I'll deal with that then. :wink:

I'm running 4 front 16" IROC rims on my '84 Monte with P235/60R16 tires, and only a slight rub issue on the front at full steering lock. The car has been lowered approximately 1" front and rear. I know that you're looking to run larger tires on the rear, but I figured that I'd let you know what has worked for me. I'm sure that you'll get other responses and ideas. Good luck.

Ran 17x8 with 4.5bs and 245/45-17s with no problems. 4"bs would work, too.
