Is it me or am I crazy??????

[Josh.Hignight@phoenix.edu (Josh Hignight)]

185's? ppssshhhtt!!!

My 85 has a manual rack, I run 205/45/16's on the front, and 225/40's on the
rear. No problems at all with steering effort, bump steer, or torque steer.
It's also dropped to where the a-arms are parallel with the ground.

my 84 16v has manual steering, it's fine for me, wouldn't want to go much
wider than 185's (tires)

while you're swaping put some urethane bushings in there as well... (I
notched a bit out of the back flat parts to make them fit into the car a
little easier).

yes you'll need different outer tie rod ends...
