[6pack] TR6 Wheels

[Ashford Little]

I am running 215/60/16 on a set of Panasport wheels.  225/60/16 will  
not fit without some major issues.  Rolling the fenders may help.  My  
car also has the Goodparts springs which lower it about an inch.  I  
have tweaked the front left fender lip on the rare occasion which  
usually involves a big dip and while I'm turning.  I think some folks  
are running staggered sizes with 215/60/16 in the rear, but 215/55 or  
50 in the front and not had problems.  In my case, the occasional dip  
hasn't bothered me enough to change.
