    Anyone found another tire that fits??

    This is for both recent posts. I googled widest wheel on 5.5j and it came back with 195. I haven’t tried googling 5.0. The i3s uses 5.5j on the front. You should check first. https://premiertiresandwheels.ca/pages/tire-size-guide

    Replacing gear selector lever in i3 rex 2013
