Title: Rear tyre sizes
Post by: rolap on September 04, 2018, 13:18:06 PM
Hey,

Does anyone have info regarding drifter rear tyre size. I know the stock size is 150/80 R16, but is there enough room under the fender to fit Shinko E270 5.00-16?

Looks like the 270 is about an inch taller than the oem.
