Re: Tire Reccomendations

I have manual steering and I have P215/75R15's and I am happy with them. I stayed narrow (215) for better steering. I previously had 235's and it steers easier.

I used the factory wheels, had them powdercoated and then used 48-54 hubcaps to achieve something similair to what you are describing. Also I used the reproduction trim rings.

Probably cost my $200 to have the wheels powdercoated, another $200 for hubcaps and maybe $60 for the trim rings......

1.61803 is one H of a lot better than 3.14159, no really it is!
