us syncro possee generally go upto 215/75/15 MT's as a max, but we've more clearance.
Biggest I know from experience will go on a 2wd is the 205R14C which is about 10% bigger than stock, don't think those 265's will...I had a syncro runing 225/65/16, which sort of equates to 245/70/15 and that's on a syncro

much wider tyres can put more strain on steering components (including your arms!) aswell

Yup they look pretty big..having a quite a low ratio box just could do with a larger rolling radius
im in top at 30 ! way to low for van with a TDI lump init

What does the law/insurance companies say about playing around with bigger diameter tyre sizes?
