I have to agree, 17 inch gives you a much wider selection with much better tires.

QUOTE(Howard @ Dec 1 2004, 05:46 PM) PO put them on Moby. Even being kind, they suck. But with 8.5 or 9 inch 15's or 16's, you are limited. Can you swap for 17's and get better tires? Sorry for the hijack, but I love that picture, Howard!! I think i'm gonna go find a hat for my Tiny now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Well, going by the size of the car and weight, I cant see running any wider than a 245 on the back of mine. It is just a waste of money in my opinion. I am going to find me some 16" Fuchs, polish them up and run 245X50X16 on the rear and probably a 225X50X16 in the front. Looks good, should handle well too and not be too hard to steer.
