16" Wheels/Tires Poll

[pb1113@hotmail.com (Chris M)]

Here's my setup:
H+R Sport Springs
Boge Turbogas Struts
Enkei RS5 16" Rims
BFG 205-40-16 Euro TA's

no rubbing, decent ride, decent handling, economical price. In the summer I
put 100 miles a day on this setup and it doesn't pound the crap outta me.
HTH.
