Re: Tire Size? Any Suggestions?

[SailingFC@aol.com]

I used to run 205-60's on my 13x5 stock mags on my '78.  At the time I had
cut stock springs(~1.5" lower).  I auto-x'd with them, no problem on fit.
 You may want to check the rules for your auto-x group.  Tire changes from
stock may put you in another class.  Your 5.5" rims are better for the
205-60's(minimum legal mounting for 205-60 is a 5.5" rim).  The 5" had too
much sidewall bulge, but I was in school at the time(no $$$'s).  If you go to
185-60x13's, the overall tire diameter is smaller than 175-70/205-60.  This
will effectively give you lower overall gearing...If that's what you want.

Have fun.
