yea the inside of the wheels well was taken to by the oxy and bashed in a bit. But with the adj tops it seems to be better again and may not have needed to bash it.

they look great! I have been thinking of some for my coupe, and after seeing yours it's a no brainer.

I am going to go for 14s though... my 120y brakes fit easily under the 13s I have now. 185/65 14s will be the go I think - very common to many of the newer small cars too so tires should be cheap

Factory option 155R12 tyre = 554mm
Stock 600x12 tyre = ........... 574mm
185x55x15 tyre = ............... 584mm [that's why it rubs]
196x45x15 tyre = ............... 556mm a much better diameter for a front tyre, partucularly if front is lowered.
185x50x15 tyre .................. 566mm Probably the best compromise diameter, assuming such a size actually exists.
