<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Brad, talk to Riley if you haven't
already. he had the hocks on his last car, but I think he only had
205/45/16. On his latest ride he is running 16x(either 7.5 or 8) with
215/40/16 yoko A520s. I think he only got a slight rub on one of the front
corners, and he's running neuspeed race springs with adjustable koni
shocks. He'll know more, but I don't think there was any fitting to
do.</FONT></DIV>

a desperate attempt to reduce wheelspin in 1st gear, I'm upgrading to
215/40/16 tires and was wondering who else out there is running this
configuration.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

when I attempt to make 16x7.5 Hockenheims with a 40mm offset (only way they
come now) fit on the Scirocco with 215/40/16 Toyo Proxes T1-S tires.
