[6pack] Tire info request

[David Friedlander]

Bruce;

Seems like a 205-5516 would only be a 24.9" OD tire. You'd have to learn to
live with the % speedo error and the odometer racking-up more miles than
you've actually traveled....

I am still searching for that 'perfect' 16" tire fit and I was curious how
big a tire the wheel well could handle without fender rub or ball-joint-bolt
interference, using 16" tires. I wonder if a 225-55-16 tire would fit, if I
used wheel spacers.... The section width (9.2") may be too wide but it has a
25.8" OD which is closer to stock .... Wish it was possible to try tires on
like shoes! LOL!

Cheers,

Dave
