The narrow tires look ok? Heh, I have such a hard time with the look of the
narrow tires
on a 'B after running 205/60s on my roadster. The wheel wells look "right"
full, when I
park next to other 'Bs those skinny tires just look goofy!
...though I run a fairly narrow tire on the rally car.
Safety Fast!
