I have a set of minilite knock-offs (Minator) for my Bugeye in a 5.5x13 with 
+25 offset.  I have been looking at a set of Sumitomo HTR200's in a 
175/70-13 size.  Has anybody tried this wheel/tire size combination on a 
Bugeye?  Is there ample clearance?
Has anybody used these Sumitomo tires and, if so, how did you like them?  I 
am looking for decent performance as well as ride comfort for these tires. 
I have a set of Panasports with some sticky 175/50's should I decide to 
autox the car.  Any other suggestions for street tires?
