Wider wheels on the back of an EsCos ?
Has anyone fitted wider rear wheels and tyres and found a combination of tyre widths and aspect ratios that keep the overall tyre height the same to save the transfer box from damage?

Any ideas on what combinations work best in 18's ?
I'm assuming that say 9 inch front wheels will rub on the inner wings at full lock and make the car tramline ?
10 x 18 on the back and 8 x 18 on the front seems a nice size IF tyres are available to keep the rolling radius the same ?

Thanks Martin, what make are the tyres as they seem to vary from one manufacturer to another?
