I am at the point of needing to order tires for the car now.
Stock fenders and 6.5x15 minilites. I HOPE 205 50s will fit. Toy car, may eventually see an auto x, but its real reason is for playing in the canyons outside my door. I like good turn in but forgiveness is probably as or more important, especially with the big lump of iron behind the seats and enough ride height to get up my driveway from hell. Stock front swaybar, konis in front and bilstiens in back with 200lb springs. Dry weather car but I don't want to die when I hit an unexpected puddle. And I'm cheap. Any thoughts welcome... patrick |

I am running 225-55-16 and they fit with a little lip work. I don't have much wheel spin because of my gearing and a limited slip diff. I can nail it going a few miles an hour and not spin the wheels, however you better hold on and watch where your going... I can't say that when going through a hard turn and nailing the throttle, you will get something else and thats scary..
