Re: Tire Sizes


<x-flowed>Paul,
Good info, but i can tell you exactly why you had rubbing problems with 
the 2 inch front drop on 145s.  the EMPI 8 spokes are a BUG backspaced 
wheel.  The tire was fine, but the wheel sets the track too wide!  I 
have found that most people with 8 spokes are really limited in tire 
sizes on the type 3.  I have run, on a lowered 4 inch front end, 145s, 
165s and 195/60/15s on the front of my notch with wheels for the 914 
without rub issues.  the 3.75 and 4.0 backspacing gave the required 
clearances.
