I just purchased a used 2010 RPod 173. I have added the lift and front stabilizers because I tend to camp in forest service campgrounds most of the time. I appreciate the added clearance of the lift, however I was wondering if anyone has changed from the stock 13 inch wheels to 14 or even 15 inch wheels? I know that fender clearance could be an issue. Any suggestions? ------------- Yellowstonestu & Bela the Vizsla 2008 Toyota FJ 2015 RPod 179 (Pod #2) |

Welcome. With the risers on I don't think larger tires will be an issue at all, because it adds so much room between the wheels and fenders.

I will have to take a look when it thaws out, but I recall my 2011 177 coming from the factory with 15 inch wheels. ------------- Keith-N-Dar Boris & Betty (Boston Terriers) 2011 R-Pod 177 2010 Ford F-150 |

We have 205 75 14's from the factory. I would think with the risers you have room to go up a bit. You might need a different fender with shallower arch to make it look right. ------------- |
