Mike,
I too am in need of some new Panasports!
Here is what Ken Mattice says in his "spec sheet" for his car:
7" Rear Wheels & Tires Without Fender Lip Modification; Rear: 7x15
Panasport
Formula Sport Wheels w/24mm. offset; Yokohama A008-RS, 205/50/ZR-15
Tires; Front:6x15 Panasport Formula Sport Wheels w/22mm. offset;
Yokohama A008-RS, 195/50/ZR-15 Tires.
I've seen his car, it is 1st class everywhere, he is very meticulous!
It looks like his sizes are in your catalog, excellent!
I want to go with the 15 inch size, the smaller 14s might give you
a better(smoother) ride but with less ultimate grip...
