Question Are these too big?

I want to put 265 X 16's on my C20, will they be too big for the front end?

No. A neat trick is to make a cardboard cutout of the size tire you want to mount, and check for clearance with that. Turn the wheels lock to lock when checking......z

PS. If it's sitting low, replace the front suspension springs with Rancho's.......z
