15" Tyres on 1990 Liberty GX Wagon with Air Suspension

Post by Tuckerman » Mon May 29, 2006 3:48 pm

Is this possible ? I had a set of 15" rims with 70 profile rubber on them and they jussssst rub the inner guard plastic at the front when turning :( The car standard has 14" with 70 profile tyres. I could obviously fit the 15's with lower profile rubber but that would almost defeat the purpose of fitting the 15's to get more ground clearance. Any way of doing this with cars with air suspension as fitting a lift kit is not an option i am guessing. Thanks

No ideas people ? If I can't fit these rims and tyres, what are the best 14" tyres to fit ? Thanks

well if you have the 15's then use them and find a tyre that will fit without rubbing.
You can use tyre size calculater to find a tyre with the same diameter as the 14 ones that fitted.

hey, are you trying to lower the car or raise the car?
i had after-market air bags on my lib and i had a 15 inch wheel with 205/50 and that cleared while on the floor
