#1 Series 3 - Widest Tyres

What are the widest tyres that can be fitted to a Series 3 with standard 6" wire wheels and standard rear suspension setup/alignmet? My guess would be 215 but also maybe 225 for some tyre brands.

What have you been able to fit with no rubbing issues - what profile also to keep rolling dia about the same as the original 205 VR 15 tyres.

Thanks

Garry

Thanks - that is looking at 6.5" rims not the standard 6" and different offsets. Interesting point about what fits wire wheels vs disc wheels.

Keen to know if anyone has fitted 225s or wider on 6" rims.
