[T3] Tire/Rim combo

["Joe Plowick III" <typ3lvr@gate.net>]

Those of you who are running 185/195 series tires in the back, what type of
rim are you running?  Is your car lowered any?  My fastback is lowered one
(outside) notch on the rear and two on the front.  When I have my stock rims
and tires on, they fit under the wheel wells.  But I have a set of 8 spokes
that I picked up used with tires (stock size), and they don't fit in the
rear.  Major tire rubbing.  It appears that the 8 spokes have a different
offset than the stockers (not sure about the width of them either).

I was also considering getting the chromed stock style rims.  With 4 1/2"
wide up front (145 series tires) and 5 1/2" in the back (195 series tires).
Will this fit properly?
