is there a reason ur goin for 70 profile? Because that will make the tyre very big compared to ur standard one.

The widest u can go is probaly 205, although i could be wrong.

normally when you go wider your profile gets thinner.

depends on the width of your rim and offset too
don't want the tyres rubbing on anything now do we
