I just made a deal for some wheels and tyres. They are 16x7's and 16x8's with 245's in the rear. Will that size tyre be too much for my stock 73 2.0L engine?

It has nothing to do with your engine's displacement.
It has EVERYTHING to do with the backspacing and offset of the wheels. I am going to venture to guess that they will NOT fit under your stock fenders. 245s are usually fitted to 914s with flared fenders. I think you are going to rub either the fender or the trailing arm depending on the particular backspacing and offset of those wheels. |
