Has anyone run a 205/ 75/16 or even tried? I know it'll be tight....If it fits. :-\

I haven't looked for any. Do you have any in mind in particular ?

Have you run the numbers through a tire calculator?

See what a 225/65 diameter is, and then your 205/75.

I've had 2 different 205-65-16s on y I/S. I believe with stock length-13"-shocks that the 205-65-16 is right at the limit of what will fit without getting into some modifications to the existing structures. And for me anyway the 205-65-16s were very rideable. RIDE SAFE.
Today is the tommorow you worried about yesterday. If at first you don't succeed screw it-save it for nite check.  1964  1968 U S Navy. Two cruises off Nam.

It'll probably fit if you remove your fender, and leave it off.

I didn't check to see if a tire was available.

As for width, 205 mm or 225 mm. It's 20 mm narrower, so nothing wrong there.
