Trebs- just to echo our PM converstation - you'll likely have to at least remove the rubber rear fender lip liner and be ready to roll if rub continues after that. No bigger than 225 width tires also.

44 offset is not gonna work on a wagon, even with rolled lips.

Wait a second, are wagons only allolwed a certain size of rims?

This "for a wagon" talk sounds like "for a girl," so I gotta stand up for the wagon crew

BTW, I know what you really mean... I'm jk.

I have 225s on 7.5s with 50mm offset and no rub. If the fender lip can be rolled and the rubber liner remover 6mm can be found there.

Go for the et48s or 49s. (I am not sure which one it is b/c of conflicting info from Rays.)
