Thanks, Ashford. Great input! Just what I was looking for. I've
installed Richard's springs
as well (no spacers) and have been wondering how to proceed, if I
invested in 16" Panasports...
The 225/60/16 is the correct OD but section width (9.3") must be an issue.
Can I assume (hate that word) running smaller OD tires in front but
stock/near-stock OD tires
in the rear will preserve speedo accuracy?
