[6pack] TR6 Wheels

[Dave]

Stan/List;

I had considered going the Spruell route for 16" Panasports as well but wondered what would be the best tire size to use, when taking that route. As I mentioned to Bud last week, going with the Goodyear 205/55Z/R16's LOOKS GREAT, but the tire has an OD of only 24.9". As we know, and this list has discussed numerous times, this yields an indicated-speed error for which the owner can just learn to live-with or modify his speedo gear to accommodate/compensate. 

Aside from that, is there anyone out there running 16" Panasports with a near stock diameter tire? If so, what size/brand are you running and how do you like them?

Thanks!

Dave
