can anybody advise on the largest tyre size for Jago Jeeps without causing problems. I currently run on 14" rims but would like to change to 15". With that in mind is any body selling a set of 15" wellers with tyres.

It all partially depends on which wings you have got (width not design)
Basically a 205 tyre will go but can be border line regards legality on some Geeps (the tyre should not show tread outside of the wheel arches).
Some Geeps have 215 or 225 tyres but usually with the wider front wings and rear spats.
One thing to remember when going wider on a lightish vehicle like a Geep is that it can increase the chances of aquaplaning in wet conditions.
There is also the possibility of increasing the wear on suspension components.

For further info regards wheel offsets required and other information visit the Jago Owners Club technical web site on
