Biggest tyres on a Stock l series

Post by Strevdog » Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:49 pm

Got myself some 14" speedys today I want to know what's the biggest tyre size I can get away with without and guard bashing? I'm currently running 185/65r14's mainly use it on the beach so I'm only after a highway tyre

I have 215 65 r14s on my standard height L. Only slightly massaged inner guard. Does suck a lot of power from the already underpowered ea82 tho.

I used some 30-40mm h/d raised springs from industrial springs in Adelaide ended up with 70mm of lift cv angels look fine my old springs where pretty sagged though.
