16.5"s on a 3rd gen?? - Page 2

You have to grind, there is no way the wheels will clearance themselves. The back doesn't take much at all, the front needs about .5" taken off. I'll see what I can do about pics this afternoon.

awsome, did you have to grind enough off that the reliablity of the caliper is sacrificed? JW because I really want to run 16.5s.

I want to run a 38x14.50" groundhawg, they are actually 37.2x13.50. but the only tire they have that will allow a 17" rim is a 40x17 and that is MUCH larger than I would like to go.
