Most of the time, the interior around the wheel wells is sacraficed for the added tire width/height.<P>Advantage: wider tires can be run.<BR>Disadvantage: costly and did I mention cutting the interior up?<p>[ January 14, 2002: Message edited by: Blu50Stang ] <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
