Re: Rim & tire quick question

["Peter Walsh" <cerksies@hotmail.com>]

I dont think you should go w/ 50 series tires on 16" wheels on a 
rocco.  Here is my personal experiance:

Lowered w/ Bilstein Sports and HOR Tech, it was a huge drop, the 
outcome is that my wheels rub if 205s are on there (thats 15" by the 
way, 205/50/15 rub for me, 195/50/15 are perfect)

The biggest id go would be 205/40/16 or 45 if you are not "slammed"
