Its starting to get a little wet up here and my tires are slick. I'm running 205/50 r15 BF Goodrich g-force Sports on my stock 15x5.5 Fuchs, with stock fenders. The tires pooch out a bit on the narrow wheel, but they handle well, even on the autocross pad. The g-force sport all season would be a decent winter alternative. The calculators suggest that your speedo might be off by about 10% (54 mph actual at 60 mph indicated). I need to take the GPS for a spin with me sometime to verify this. |

There are 215/50-15 BFG g-force tires at tire rack. I want to put these on in a big way, with 205s in the front. Can you squeeze your little finger in there- not only at the fender but on the inside where there is a panel between the spring and tire? I would hate to order them and have to return- if you can. I've read all the specs and measurements and it MIGHT fit. |

I also have clearance to the inside. There is a small lip on the inside of the fender that could be rolled over to give some more clearance. My concern would be squeezing some more tire onto the 5.5" Fuchs'. Do you need the extra meat in the back to hook up some big horsepower? I smoke my clutch before I can smoke the tires with my 125hp 2 litre. |
