Thanks for the tip Rich,
I'm running 185x70x14 tyres on 14x6 rims. The PO fitted this combo and the
tyres are like new.
I checked with the manufacturer of the wheels and they make a wheel with a 4
1/2" offset (they
called it 'backspacing' BTW) which may help my situation. I'll check for
suspension fouling at full lock before I proceed though.
Cheers,
Paul.

When I had BF Goodrich T/A Radials in the size of BR60 - 13 on
5.5" standard offset (hub flange at center of wheel) E.T. Uni-Lug Mags
my front tires also extended pass the edge of the lip of the front
fender by about 1/2". Be careful with the offsets It's not just the
ball joint that needs to be avoided. Always check for clearance of the
"A"-arms when the wheels are turned to lock in both Directions. Wheels
with a real deep offset like those for front wheel drives, will contact
the a-arms, or tie rods when turning.
