Re: Yipee! Another Tire Size Question

[Chris Jung <palace_master@yahoo.com>]

I run 195-50-15 tires on 15X7 ASA rims, and I had to
buy H&R spacers for the rears because they were
rubbing against the springs too much, especially when
pulling U-turns.  I've heard of lots of people using
15X7 rims and 195's successfully without using
spacers, but I suppose it depends on the offset of the
wheels that you decide to use.  It's hard to tell
until you actually try it.  You can always buy spacers
though.
