Wheel and tire fitment

[The Big Weezy]

First time post on the site. Looking to upgrade the wheel and tires on my 1997 CC DS. Looking to add a set of on road wheels and tires to the stock suspension setup. I would like to go with larger diameter wheels. 12" is the goal or larger if I can get away with out having to modify the suspension. Eventually I may consider lowering the cart, so whatever wheel and tire combo I go with will have to be able to accommodate suspension lowering. Question is, what is the largest wheel and tire combo I can get away with without having to modify the suspension, but will allow for possibly lowering the ride height for the future. All suggestions and pics would be greatly appreciated.

I have 12s on my 2000.5 DS. The tire size is 205/50/12. You can see a pic on my build thread.

I went with 215/40-12 tires with 12" -20mm offset wheels. I did install a 1" block up front and longer rear shackles to bring the rear up 1". I didn't want a lift at all but with the larger than stock tires it looks stock. This package should fit without the 1" lift. I don't know if you could lower it though. I wanted the little extra clearance in the rear since I have a rear seat and the front block leveled it out.

Thanks for the replies and pics. I like your build 55bigblock. I will be following that one for sure!

205/65-10 will fit most. Maybe a lo-pro kit...

They ride so much nicer too.
