Well for wheels he could use the 15" "crosslace" wheels that came on Beretta
GT's. I suggest this because I don't know if the Fiero wheels have the
correct offset. As for spring rates, I don't know. I don't have experience
with tuning street cars. I know that Eibachs would be the way to go. By
the way 215/60/15 isn't the right size for a Beretta. My 93 GT had
205/60/15's on it, which are the correct size. You could go with 225/55/15
on it. If I remember right those won't rub on anything. For shocks I would
go with Koni or Tokico. Both companies have adjustable shocks so it is a
matter of choice. I am too poor to have experience with either. Tell your
friend to go to www.beretta.net. This site will help him a lot, loved it
while I had my Beretta.
