- After taking the V8 out last night, I noticed a pretty pronounced vibration in the front end. I'm quite sure it is from unbalanced wheels. I've tried to have my rostyles balanced before, but they sai

- I'm running 195/60-15 Yokohamas and they are fine. They are mouted to 15x5.5' minilites. 185 seems mighty small for a 6" wide rim. 205 or 215 seems to be a closer match. Why not go +1 like I did. To

- This brings up a good question. I have Eagle Alloy 5 spoke wheels in 15x6.5 ET +22 Will a 215 wide tire fit into the wheelwells? I guess the better question is will that tire ever fit, but specifical

- Okay, I can understand why I'd want to go with a 205 or 215. The problem still lies in the offset. The minilites typically have the same offset as the rostyles. Maybe I should just ask a more direct

- I'd be sticking with the standard offset and going for 15" x 6" wheels and low profile tyres. There is a much better selection of hi performance tyres available for 15" rims...... Murray Arundell Bri

- The reason I was asking about the different offsets, is because they are much cheaper here in the US. I can get nice looking TSW alloy wheels (marketed for a Honda Accord) for $50 each. I could also

- I think you are correct about the 15" rims allowing wider tires. Also suspension height has a lot to do with it. The inside fender has a bulge that the bump stop attaches to. This gets in the way at
