P235/60R16 Winter Tires on Mazda3 (don't fit too well)

[msowsun]

While putting my winters on my 3 vehicles today and tried out some P235/60R16 winter tires on my Mazda3. I was surprised they actually fit and I could drive around the block without too much trouble. (they are not usable as they did rub on bumps, or hard turn left or right)

I think so that its a doable option for whatever reason you find yourself stuck with only 235/60/16 haha.

4x4 mode activated!

If "doable option" means running an unsafe tire size lol

Maybe the wheels get stolen off your car in the middle of no where and the farmer down the street only has 235s for ya.

Highly unlikely, but it would work in a pinch!

Bet you can use some Ranger springs and suspension pieces to make it work.

This idea is more common then I realized, now that I'm in the VW crowd, here's an example
