Hi folks,
Does anyone know what the maximum tyre / rim size that can be put on a viscount areolite without making modifications to the the axle or guards?
I own a Pajero with a 4" lift and I have installed a Hayman reece hitch adjuster and the van now sits level but still sits a little low especially if im reversing the van on a non level site, it seems to drag the hitch chassis. Im just after a little more hightI think that a larger rim size will help. I am currently running 13"rims at the moment.
I understand that the higher the lift will also impact on the annex.
Thanks
John

My Viscount Grand Tourer of the same vintage originally ran 185x14LT tyres.
I have changed to 195x14LT and can still get them off without fouling anything but only just.
I would think that the Aerolite would be much the same, and without modification to
suspension and body/mudguards , 195x14 may be your limit.
The only way to be sure is to try alternative sixes on your van.
Hope this helps.

OOPS, Big Fingers, Little keys:
"Sixes" should be read as "sizes"
