I run 16" with no problems, 195.40.16's are advisable

Not sure exactly, by that I mean in mm, it was pretty low, anyone in the back and the rear kit would rub on the edge of the tyre.

you'll need to trim the lips off the rear bumper and front of the rear arches, and bend the metal of the bumper mount on the rear if you're going low

i get full lock and only get rear scraping on big bumps
