Largest diameter tires without rubbing?
I know a lot of people have been getting larger all terrain tires, and the popular size around here seems to be 245-65-17. However yesterday while driving I saw a CX-5 with custom blue mud flaps behind the tires (looked somewhat cool, but I was unsure) so it got my attention. It also looked like it has a good amount of ground clearance. I was able to pull up next to it at a light, and I swear the tire size that was listed on the side of the tires was 265-50-20. that would mean those tires have an outer diameter of 30.4", which seems like it might be too big to fit? Is this possible?
What is the largest diameter tire that anyone has seen or gotten to fit themselves without a lift and without any rubbing?
