Looked at all the info on tires.com. It shows me Plus Zero, Plus One,
and Plus two.
I could gladly live with Plus Zero, which I believe requires NO
modification. When you move into Plus One or Plus Two, the wheel
diameter changes (which I'm correct) would require new rims.
Right?
Thanks

Someone else mentioned something like this, but this makes it quite
clear.

I also just bought an XJ Ltd. It's a 2000 and looks *exactly* like
this...
http://www.edmunds.com/media/generat...imited.500.jpg
Build sheet says P225/70R16 - it came to me with P235/70R16's
It's the one with the Tokico TrekMaster R/T shocks
http://tinyurl.com/9gs4k - guess I'll be the one to try them out.
