Re: Modified 99 2-door wheel and tire >> 16" Aero wheels Posted by Gary Stottler [Email] (#1463) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gary Stottler) on Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:24:54 In Reply to: Modified 99 2-door wheel and tire >> 16" Aero wheels, BobD, Thu, 15 Sep 2011 20:07:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I am running original 99 axles, however, I have found the limiting factor to be the tires hitting the inner fenders and structure both front and rear. For that limitation, I've found that 195/60HR15 just leaves some burnish marks and 205s really rub.
Plus, I'm not sure you get any real benefit by going bigger (but, you can reduce your fuel economy).
Good Luck!
Gary
