    How big did you want to go?

    I've driven several of the GM Theta platforms from the Equinox to the Terrain to the Saturn Vue (the Saturn Vue was a bit smaller) and I'm not sure that I ever paid any attention to the wheel clearance. I suppose you could go up an inch to two inches w/o any problem just from looking at the photos agagain.

    probably 29" at least but maybe 30"s if I can make sure nothing is touching. might give it a 1" coil spring spacer. have to measure the diameter of the springs though
