Default Tire Width

So, how wide of a tire/wheel can I run on my 2002? Is there a chart someone may have done?


TIA, Nick

Hi...I run 305's on 19 x 11.5 CCW's on the rear..they fit flush with the rear lip and do not rub...could probably go up to a 315 but it would stick out 1/8 - 1/4"..sorry no pics ....
