RE: [TECH] Rims and Tires

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

The minimum wheel diameter to fit the S16v's front brakes is 14". A 15" rim
with proper offset is a fine and very common upgrade. In my opinion, the
ideal size tire for 14x6" rims is a 185/60. The 7" width rims are best
equipped with 195mm width tires (195/55/14 and 195/50/15).
