I know this is going to make me sound weird, but...

    I... I don't... ahem! Give me a minute here... Ok, here goes...

    I don't want to lower my truck! There! I said it! Now I know what those mentally ill people must have felt like way back in history. The stares, the whispers, people looking at you just knowing you were different. Shying away from you for fear that whatever you had would be caught by them and they would end up acting as odd and insane as you. ("I think I may crank the torshion bars back up and put it back to stock... :eek: What was I thinking?)
    But I stand by this statement. No lowering or bags or things of that sort are planned for my truck.
    Which brings up a question that is asked a lot on this site, but not for a stock height truck:
    What size tire can I fit without rubbing?
    The wheels I'm planning on running are the alloy "16 tooth" 16x6 inch wheels from a late 90's early 2000's Lincoln Towncar. not sure of the offset. I'd like to stay around the same diameter as the stock 195-75-14 tire, but go with a wider tire. Just to fill out the wheel wells. Oh, and I don't have 4x4 fenders.
    Just thought I'd ask and get suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Compare your stock with a tire you would like or would like to run .or play around with this and get some measurements ..
    Tire Size Calculator - Compare Tire Sizes

    205/65/16 is in the ballpark for height

    Guess I am kinda weird too... Truth is when I was younger (44 now) I loved lowered yotas because they were unique. Now, seeing a stock one in good shape is unique. I appreciate all the work and craftmenship that I see in some of these builds but I like my stock height as these trucks are so small stock is low enough... Gettin old I guess. Whether low or high you can learn alot about Cool Ole Yotas on this site. Can't help ya on the wheel size.
