Measure from the front of the wheel well to the back of the wheel well and
subtract a little. That should be how tall of a tire you can get. Most
people worry about width, not heigth. You can get rubbing on the inside of
the wheel well when you turn from the tire being too wide. However, you can
also get rubbing on the top of the wheel well while your suspension
travels. Most people don't change the diameter and more than they have to
so the speedometer is still accurate. Are you sure you want a taller tire
or a wider tire?
