Had a look in the bible, saw inconclusively that 2 - 4" lift is required for 36's.

Will 15" rims fit over the brakes?

Will 35's fit standard height?

Will 37's fit with 2 - 3" lift, and no mudflaps, with a little non damaging rubbing?

15's won't fit over brake calipers, I used to have 35" claws on my hungy and they hit ever so slightly on the back inner tubs, but not on the front at all even on full lock, at full flex, it also had a 3" lift. Gazza!

you need to massage the callipers with a grinder, have seen 100's running 15's...there is a 37 inch tyre made in a 16...think it is 385x80x16 or similar ou will need a 4 inch lift to run them, and they will rub on rear of front arch and rear of rear, plus inner....unless you flip the front arms and play with the rear arms too...

Keep the 15's and grind the calipers. I've done it to the 100 series diff from the buggy and to Emmas 80 series rear diff.

IMOP don't grind the calipers, keep the 16" wheels if you can ..

grinding the calliper is not a big deal, not much comes off...however, that will depend on the offset of the rim....if you look for a wider offset, there will be minimal grinding reqd, but on a 100 that may mean custom wheels
