Maximum rear tire size
« on: September 10, 2010, 06:44:40 PM »
Hi, I am new to this forum. I own an 07 SERK, that came with a 170 rear tire. Can a 180 tire be used on the stock rim, and will there be enough fender clearance? Thanks, Rob

I'll bump this back.

Curious myself, or would a 180/18 fit?

Cool! Thanks Rooster. Any rubbing issues? Is that the same style tire as the original, or did you upgrade?

which size wheel?   18x5.5?   Any other changes, or just the wheel/tire?

The chrome on my stock wheels took a dump early on so warranty to the rescue. Funny, the dealer recommended choosing an aftermarket wheel. Yes, I believe it is 18x5.5 on the rear and went a 21" front. No mods to fit and changed out the shocks to Legends. Even with the rear end slammed, no rub.

So that tire size may not be Ok on the stock rim?
