Re: [T3] An answer to my own wheel question

Yeah, i was wondering the same thing for my rims.  i have the normal fake
centerlines.  i think they are an inch wider than stock.  Are 195/50-15 or
195/60-15 a better fit?  My 185/65-15 michelin mxv4's are fine in front, but
rub a little in the back when i have four people in the car and it really
bugs me.
