Hello- > The widest tire I have been able to run on the > 'traditional' aftermarket wheels has been a 205/65/15 and that was on > mahle 914 wheels that had more than 3.75 inches of backspacing with only > a total width of 5.5 inches. (and to run that tire, i needed a 3/8 > spacer to keep from rubbing on the torsion arm) Somethings odd... original 914 alloys (dunno about copies) had a ~4.75" backspacing on a 5.5" rim, which means they had a ~2" offset.
