16-inchers (was: Suspension Poll)

[jtoomasson@yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

I'm running 16"s with 205/40 Yoko Paradas on a currently stock suspension
(AFAIK) and have no problems whatsoever. It drives really well for the most
part.

I plan on getting Bilstein Sports and H&R sports (per the predominant
recommendation) but now I'm worried I'm going to rub. My profile _looks_
like it will accommodate it, but does anyone know for sure?

I actually had a guy come up to me yesterday and offer to buy my wheels -
should I go to 15s?

It's really only a daily driver - but that daily driving is spirited
wherever possible!  ;)

TIA,

Jeff
