Rob,
Being a fat tire fanatic (a child of the Can-am era cars that was too young to actually go to a Can-am) I cannot tolerate skinny rear tires :-).

Fran says that one can fit up too 17" in the rear without interference. From what I've seen of the car I think this comes from modern wheel hat diameters being big enough to clear the ''A arm'' style rear suspenion arms. So one ends up with a lot of inboard clearance for fat wheels.

enjoy....
