[FC] TIRE SIZES on rampy

[Michael Emanuele]

I went from 195x70 to 205x70 in the last month. Other than a little more
road noise, I have had no problems. Just about half inch clearance at the
rear wheel opening. I put a small load in it over the weekend without any
problems. These are on stock wheels.
