[T3] while we're speaking of tires


Thanks Bob, thats what I was hoping to hear. I'm running 185-65 in the back and 185-60 up front. (BTW- I got them from tire rack also about a year ago) I'm going to order 4 1/2" chrome oe rims (3.75" backspace) for the 65 square and am hoping to lower the car without tire rub ( two notches up front and maybe down to 16 degrees in the rear) Hopefully these will fit inside the wheel wells and not stick out like my last rims. --
