    I just wanted to know how it would look and feel like with steelies. The size is 185/65/14 as compared to the original 155/80/13. I personally think it looks goofy for some reason. Another reason why I put those on is because my 13s' sidewalls were cracking already. I will still use the 13's when I go to meets tho... I think original > these...


    opinions?

    true that... I may also need more flat tires because the innermost part of the rear tires [figure B] only have a finger's clearance to the strut [figure A]. (see illustrations below)

    werd, homie. :D
    Just let me know. I have the steelies and the hubbies. You just need tires for them. Also, I'm gonna try to get the knife blade out of the one that's flat. I hit it on the middle of the road one night, and it blew the tire. I still haven't gotten the knife out yet, but I"m gonna try soon.

    You should get chrome wheel trim rings for those steelies.....and then drop your car.
