I'm running 185/65/15's on 280ZX turbo wheels which are +12 if I remember
correctly. I was getting some slight body rub on hard cornering, but that
was because the body was slightly off centre. I didn't/wont roll the lip.
I was going to go with 185/60's but there wasn't much available when I was
looking. Better availability now.
Good luck!
Daryl
