[TR] Question: Konig Rewind 16x7 wheels for TR6

[Bud Rolofson]

I too run this exact setup (except I have Panasport 16x7 wheels), same  
tire size, springs 1 inch less all the way around.  I like the way it  
sits, cruises, autocrosses and rides.   Great all around combination  
IMHO.  I have 16 inch Panasports with 205/55Z/R16 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS- 
D3 tires which are still available on Tire Rack the last time I  
checked.  Got a couple more a year or so ago.  They are great wet or  
dry.  Had some tire rub on extreme twists but my car sits twisted on  
the frame anyhow and always has but I've never had a tire problem (for  
about 15,000 plus miles) as a result and I certainly don't blame the  
setup for any tire rub.  Stan Foster posted a pic of how my 6 looks  
with that setup here http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e119/foster461/Panasports/BudRTR6.jpg

Its my moment of fame being in the same picture with Richard Good's  
TR6 (Richard is the gentleman in the green shirt), and Marty Sukey's  
legendary blue TR6 (may it RIP) with his better half Evelyn in the  
pink blouse talking on the cell phone.

Shalom  to you and yours
