Tire width with offset trailing arms
I have an opportunity to buy a set of Global West tubular offset trailing arms and had the following question come to mind. Sticking with the original aluminum 15x8 rim, just how wide a tire could I go to using these offset T/A's? I have P225's all the way around right now.

With a 15 x 8 rim about the widest I would go is a 255 but you do not need offset arms for that size tire. In a 15 inch rim you start needing offset arms when you go to a 10 inch or wider rim. Do a search there is a lot if info on this topic.
