Yeah, but have you seen the prices for 55's!? Don't do 50's (even though they're less expensive) because if your nose is lowered even mildly, say two notches like mine, speed bumps might as well be railroad ties stacked two high (well, too high as well :). I had this setup for two days back in college and it didn't lend well to my daily driver, not to mention scraping off some metal from my front tow eye. I'm staying with 195/60x15 on my 5.5" after-market rims.

Send me a price and I'm in. My 71 fastback needs lowering, and I'm just not into using the standard methods. I just thought the bug guys had all the luck. Kenik Hassel 71 fastback PS anyone sick of using 135's as their front tires (they don't grip worth a shit) will be happy to know that 185/55 ZR15 from Yokohama have right near the same profile as a 135, are 66% wider with a better gripping tire compound, will fit the wheel wells like a 165, and fit a 5 inch rim near flush (much better than 195's).
