They are massive compared to the original wheel/tyre diameter of 586mm, your now on a 631mm overall diameter.

Toyos are the biggest tyre you'll get as far as I recall. They was a thread about it on here ages ago, something like their 215 is the equivalent of a 225 in other bands, I'd have to do a search to read it all, but that was the basic outline of the discussion.

They are good tyres, the Kumho V70 i recon are better, as they don't seem to overheat the same as the 888's do.
