29 inches, that's like 737 mm? 235s? Should be no problem...With the Vert and the original tires, the massive amount of ugly looking "open space" in the wheel wells sometimes seems like there should be enough room to get something that big in there. Every time I look at the "empty looking" wheel wells all I can see is the amount of drag created by extra turbulence and the pumping effect. I sooooooooo wish my tires were worn badly, but unfortunately, if I remember to rotate them ( ) it will be at least another year or so before I have a believable excuse to buy something taller that will ride nicer, fill the wheel wells in a little better, reduce the drag in there and give me better fuel economy...

Its my experience when it comes to truck tires people start to reference the size by the outside diameter vs the typical tire markings. My tacoma had 31's as they say, 31 inch outer diameter. My parents use to buy used tires, tires from the junkyard and drove them til they were bald and never balanced. I do just the opposite of all that. Tires make a world of difference in how a car handles and performs. I tossed a good set of continentals 205/75r15 into a friends garage as I didnt like how they gripped and got 4 new ones. On my dd I went up 10mm on the tire width and dropped 10 lbs on lighter rims.
