Just got my new Avon tech R-A 's 205 50 15
they won't fit a stock bodied car!!! I tried them on my Revolution wheels (7 inch rim) I might try them on my fuchs(5.5 inch rim) still not sure the will fit. I call Tire rack before I orderd them and the said I will have no problems!!!! I have used Kumho,hoosier,yokohammas with NO problems in the past BE care full!!! they hang over the rim about a half inch on either side NOT HAPPY (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) Pradon me for being a purist!
Never, ever bend your bodywork to fit tires, unless you are committed to racing or autocrossing the car and have no concern for it's future value. The chassis,suspension, etc. was never designed/made for the rigors of contemporary hard-core tires/usage. If you've upgraded the chassis & suspension/brakes for comp use...fine - just realize that few collectors will want your car wen you've finished thrasing it on the track. Keep going. My box stock car will shine at future auctions when I'm too old t enjoy it. Thanks |
