VZ Crewman suspension questions

[OldSkoolGP]

So I had a brain wave when figjam said the stock tire was 225/55/17. Went and double checked the tires on the Crewman now and that's exactly what it has on it!

That's a 26.74" (679.18 mm) tire diameter. The tire I want to run is 26.68" (677.67 mm). So the height is fine! I may have to space it out a bit to clear, but I am all set! All these parts that cross between the cars, I just assumed that Crewmans wore a 245mm tire on a stock 17" wheel. Guess you learn something every day!
