Hi Herb, The Hopster apparently only comes with 3.75. I made a mistake about the rim size - 15x7 is going to be the rim size.
So, with 15x7 w/ 3.75 backspacing, 225-60 in the front should be OK? -Graham On 10/3/04 9:34 PM, "Herb Lumpp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Graham, > > Before I moved up to 17" wheels, I had 15's on the Elky.
