I tried a search and came up empty.
What is the widest tire I can put on my 850 and not have problems with rubbing? I have stock 15" wheels. :liebe011: in advance.

stock or offset? you have to understand that you will have contact with the inner fender wheel well. also, your turning radius will be wider if you go with too wide a tire or too much offset. I have 17 with 225 50 on mine. I have seen 245 50 on 18 that had to have the inner fenders rolled and the rear fenders widen slightly. a dedicated tire shop would be able to tell you better than a website because they would fit a trial rim on for you.

We put 205/55/16 on my sons 850. Has the Mimas wheel with the 43mm offset. There is no rubbing. I would think you might be able to go as wide as the 225 but anything after that is probably going to rub.
