Hello all! I am now a proud owner of a 91 Mitsubishi Delica Exceed, its pretty mint with just 90 000 kms. I am looking to buy new tires soon and currently have 215/80r15 on. Read some blogs and found that 235/75R15 will be quite compatible. The only thing is that it looks a touch saggy in the front should I replace/upgrade the shocks in the front first?
Also interested in new/used 15 inch wheels with around 4 inch backspacing to pop the wheels out abit to increase stability from side to side.
Thanks alot.

search for information on the torsion bars, they need to be cranked or re-indexed if the front end is "saggy"

As far as stability is concerned, these vans are pretty stable as they are. I would recommend scouring YouTube for "Delica"; "Mitsubishi Delica", &c. and you will see what these vans can do. Do you have any pictures you can post? Where are you based?

Welcome! Could I suggest you update your profile to show where you live -- it helps us all avoid unwittingly giving stupid advice like, "take it to so-and-so" when you live on the other side of the planet.
235/75r15 is the largest tire size that will safely fit the stock rims, and also not require any body modifications.
The saggy front end can usually be fixed by adjusting the torsion bars. The shocks have nothing to do with the ride height.
