Weren't the later GTV6 vintages (1985 +) shipped with hard-to-fit metric wheels and tires? Never had a problem with my '84, especially once I ditched the gaudy aftermarket wheels that came on it and fitted a set of original-type (actually from an '83 with contrast paint job) wheels. FWIT, did a speedo check on my '91 Spider w/14" notaveloce wheels last time I ran in a TSD rally: there is a variable error that is as much as 10% on the speedo; it is sorta kinda accurate above 80 mph but increasingly further off as it approaches parked. Go figure. (PS, the navigator worked it out well and we won the rally.) Charlie LA, CA, USA 94 164 nero 91 Spider bianca 84 GTV6 rosso In a message dated 11/10/2009 4:07:01 P.M.

Your stock tire size should have been a 195/60, on a 15x6" wheel. If you've got a wider wheel, I find that a 205/55 is pretty close in size, and works well on a 7" wheel. -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
