Here are a couple of old pics of my PV, not long after I'd put the new wheels on it, with the first set of taller tires. The size escapes me, but they were taller than the current 205/50's.





The other thing that was going on there was that I'd had one front spring break, so I'd replaced both of them. And the front end was sitting way up in the air. probably the stock ride height, but I'd gotten used to the very old sagged spring's ride height. After waiting 6 months or so for them to settle if they were going to, I chopped a coil off them.

The taller tires were the ones that would occasionally rub in the back, I did roll the fenders and that was enough to get rid of the rubbing, sometimes 1/4 inch is all you need.

The 205/50's do look a bit skinny at times (height, not width), I think the next time I buy tires I'll go a bit taller again, just for the looks.



Short sidewalls just look a bit off sometimes.
