Larry,
What wheels have you got on? The stock wheels are very narrowand may not be able
to handle the 195s.
I put 15" 5-1/2 inch wide wheels on my BGT. I have 195-60-15 on the wider
wheels. Front clearence is good, and rear clearence is OKish as long as you are
not carrying anything or hitting corners hard. I had to cut off the inner rear
wheel arch flanges to keep from rubbing on corners with my room mate in the car.
Driving school in a B? It will be interesting to hear what you do to the
suspension.
Take care,
TeriAnn
