195/65/15 Stock Fuchs. Turning radius restricted. Just parking, and U-turns. Would a 1/2" wheel spacer help?

This is common with 195-width or wider tires. Most of us just keep in mind that we don't want to crank the wheel all the way over at anything more than very very very slow speeds.

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Feb 21 2025, 05:57 PM)  This is common with 195-width or wider tires. --DD (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) These vehicles came on 165’s. 195’s are over an inch wider. These vehicles also had a lot of build variation in the chassis so it shouldn’t be surprising that while 195’s may barely fit one vehicle on stock Fuch’s, they may very well rub on another. There is plenty of grip available in 185’s especially with modern rubber. I’d seriously consider going to 185’s if you rule out the tire rub being related to worn suspension. |
