T3: RE: Tire size

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

I know that tire size would work on my 5.5x15 but I don't know if your 
offset is the same as mine.  Whatever you do, make sure the treadwear is

less than 400.  You want a sticky tire more than you want a long life
tire. 
 If you don't believe me then look at my 914 on my web page and try to 
convince me that saving a few dollars will pay for itself in an auto 
accident.

I am putting new tires and wheels on my car probably this weekend and
need to 
know what will fit.  I have 15 by 5.5 inch wheels and am wanting to put 
probably 195 50's on them.  is this possible or am I going to do the
wrong 
thing.  Will they fit, there isn't much space for the tires.  Please
help.
