Just found this on Reimo's site and thought I'd share. I was just looking at if the BFGoodrich All Terrain A/T tires could be put on a Metris and here it is. Nicely done Paul!
Since these tires are only made in a few sizes with the smallest 16" being 215/70R16. I'm assuming those are the tires pictured. Checking tire comparison those are 27.9" diameter tires verse the stock 225/55R17 (26.7" diameter) tire. It slims the width from the stock 8.9" to 8.5". I would hope the slimming might help tire rub and clearance and still allow snow chains.
Personally, I also like the idea of adding 0.6" of additional ground clearance as this has been a major sticking point for me with the Metris.

One of the issues brought up time and again is the fact that the Metris is not offered in a 4x4 version as found in Europe.Searching and speaking with various suppliers have led to what I feel is a a great solution, Going to a 16 inch tire gives us access to a much more aggressive tire when pared with a taller aspect ratio (Tire Height) and keeps a proper truck tire with all the load rate needed.Looks cool also!
