Seems like I've seen this info before, but I'll ask again... anyone have any
experience running 15" rims on their B?  If so, what kind of rim did you use
(width, back spacing, etc.)  Also, what tire size did you run, and would you
do it again? Recommendations?  I'm looking at the Pirelli P-6000 195/50/15
in particular, since (A)I am very happy with the P-7000s on my daily driver,
and (B) they're relatively inexpensive.  Yes, I'm aware that they'd be about
1.5" taller than 185/70/14, and yes, that it would cause speedo error. But,
as far as physically fitting a RBB without rubbing, it seems like it
shouldn't be a problem.  Opinions?
Thanks!
