    Tyre question size

    I have a 2008 Transporter Double cab running tyres 225/65 16s.

    Will 225/75 16s rub in the front wheel arches when turning??

    Thanks

    Hi,
    No idea if it will rub but the proposed 225/75/16 tyre is around 45mm higher.
    It will put the speedo out a fair bit, 110kmh will be 117kmh.

    Hi 16v80.........thanks for the input ..........the reason i'm asking the question is that with the 65/16's the tyres that I have found, all have a 'tame' tread pattern and if one wants something more aggressive one has to go to the 75/16 size. I had forgotten about the speedo difference.
