I want to replace stock 205/75R14 tires on my Lance 1575 with larger size, 215/75R14 tires. Wondering if they will fit and concerned about bounce causing rubs, scuffs. Thanks for helping.

I replaced the 205/75R14 OEM tires on my 2012 Lance 1575 with Maxxis 215/75R14 tires and found that there was some scuffing on the top of the wheel wells. I switched axles--the original Dexter axle had a 22.5 degree down angle on the torsion arm, and I went to one with a 32 degree down angle. That provided another 0.7" of clearance and haven't had any scuffing since then. However, if I were to do it again, I would go with a 45 degree down angle for even more clearance; a couple of folks on the Lance Owners of America forum did that and have reported good results.
