I have 175/70s on stock rims and I am happy with them. They are just about the same diameter as the stock tires, so the speedo, etc. will not be affected. My car had 165/80s when I got it. I do not recommend those because their diameter is too large. Doug Braun '72 Spit *** http://www.team.net/the-local *** Your messages not reaching the list?
