What would be a possible range of tire sizes for a 15 rim and a 6 wide tire. I have no idea of the height, but a 26 or so would be in the ballpark. I'm guessing around a 180/70 R15 ??? Thanks Mike -- -- I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, Than

Absolutely yes, buy a scattershield. Your feet are far more expensive than a scattershield. I've seen pics of cars pretty much torn in 1/2 from an exploding flywheel and/or clutch. Not good, and definately not worth the risk. Either a Lakewood or a McLeod. In either case, you need to dial
