<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Brad, talk to Riley if you haven't 
already.&nbsp; he had the hocks on his last car, but I think he only had 
205/45/16.&nbsp; On his latest ride he is running 16x(either 7.5 or 8) with 
215/40/16 yoko A520s.&nbsp; I think he only got a slight rub on one of the front 
corners, and he's running neuspeed race springs with adjustable koni 
shocks.&nbsp; He'll know more, but I don't think there was any fitting to 
do.</FONT></DIV>
