Interested in the 16inch wheels, though. What is the actual size of the
tyres? Did you have to modify the wheel arches?I reckon the gearing is a
bit low on mine, my 1600 Integra does 100K at about 2800 for instance.

Hi Phil
The wheels are 16x7" tires 205x45-16" offset 42mm. The "lady" is lowered
50mm, no modifications was necessary for the wheel arches. I have not done
any hard driving yet as the tires are new and I want them to be "run in" so
I do not know if it will be any interference between car and tires.

In my experience to keep to the original 185x60x14 tyres diamater you can
go up as follows; 195x50x15, 205x40x16. A 195x60x14 is a little to large
overall.Bigger wheels look better but they handle best on the original
wheels.Bigger rims mean less sidewall on your tyres and not so much feel
plus the weight is a lot more.Toyo make a 195x55x14 which would be a good
comprimise. Ross
