Wheel well clearance on snow
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2022 2:00 pm
Hey delicas!
I'm getting a D5 and checking on Winter Tires at the moment, the stock tires are 225/55R18 and I want to go to R16 because there are more options and I prefer the ride with more rubber than rim!
I checked in multiple forums/post and lots of people choose to go 235/70R16, leaving the wheel clearance from the inner liner on 1CM!
Since here in Manitoba we have tons of snow, I'm second guessing this, thinking that it might build-up ice inside and cause some trouble turning later.
Any of you that drive in Canadian winters have some recommendation on if I should worry or Ice won't build-up because the tires are too tight haha
Let me know! Thanks in advance!
This Youtube video shows how close these tires fit!
