RE: Tire options for 16" wheels...

["Neal Tovsen" <sixteen.volt@gte.net>]

I've got A520s in 205/40-16 on 16x7.5 OZ Monte Carlos. I had to get some
small (10mm?) H&R spacers for the rear because they were just **barely**
rubbing the H&R springs on the rear in corners...just enough to rub the
paint off a little when cornering hard. Other than that, no rubbing, no
problems, and one very happy owner. I don't have a lot of experience with
other similar tires, but these things STICK. I love 'em.
