You have both height and width to consider. If the tire is too wide, they'll
rub on the drag link.

Actually I'm going to be needing to buy tires for my W200 this summer. I don't want to waste the money on crap stockish tires and wheels just to get it through inspection. Can anyone tell me the bolt pattern and hub size and how small of a rim will fit over? Can I clear a 12.5x33-35" class tire on an 8" rim without rubbing? And if so, will they stick out of the fender a lot? They are really picky here and if they feel the tires stick out too much (I'm sure there is a specific law on this but it entirely depends on the "mechanic"'s general personal opinion of the vehicle) it will fail. And even if it passes you will get pulled over by every cop that sees you. Trust me on this

OK, I finally have had a little time to focus on the Power Wagon, but soon I will be focused on the Polara for a while. The Humvee tires fit pretty well on my truck, stock height so far. I only have one issue to this point. Left turns, the outside of the right tire rubs on the fender. The only reason the Left outer tire is safe on right turns is due to the fender being dented out, I think new springs will bring it to a better ride height, but I think I will hold off till I can find a complete drive train from a newer Dodge. Diesel and all. I will post pics as soon as possible

Please do! I just picked up a set of brand new bias 36" hummer tires for my truck. I have been slowly working on getting them ready to go. Unfortunately, it will be awhile before they are on the truck since I have a bunch to do to it before I mount them. Once I do, I will post pics, though.

OK, back on the home computer. Here is a before and after of my tires and wheels.
