& Does anybody know the width of the rims that come with the '97 sport
& package? I've only got the 215 75R15 Invicta GL's right now.
&
& What I want to do is put as large (Diameter) tires on the back wheels as
& possible. I know it will throw off the speedo, as a matter of fact,
& that's what I want to do. Plus, It'll give me a nice rake :)

If they are the five spoke type with the cover over the lug nuts, like is
used on the non-sport 2WD they are 7" wide (does anybody know what the
offset is? 5" or 5.5"?). The wheels without the lug nut cover, like
those that come on the 4WD are 8" wide (with 5.5" offset).

275/60-15s might fit on the back. The Dunlop page gives the data for the
GT Qualifier tire in this size on a 7.5" wide rim, so 7" is pretty close.
