Gonzomania, I just on put 205x60x16 Yokohama Avid H4s tires (at 8500 miles). This is the tallest tire you can put on this wheel. The clearence between the tire and the lower spring perch (support for the bottom of the front spring) was reduced from 5/8 inch to slightly more than 1/8, maybe 3/16 inch. After a high speed run, there is no evidence of rubbing or tire contact. The 1 inch taller tire will 'slow down' your speedometer. With stock tires, my speedometer was reading 1 mile fast for each 20 traveled (5% fast). I expect to be very close to dead on now. The tires look great (a little more chubby),feel even greater, and have a 130 mph speed rating.
