My wheel wells are ruined as a result of the 205/55/16 tires. I need to change to 50's.
I did some physics calculations and it really wouldn't affect my speedometer so much. It would be off by less than 1mph.

I also have 205/55 16s...do your fenders look like this????

Clearance from the rim to the fender is 5"

...and no making fun of my bald tires, I like to smoke them.

Holy Hell! Mine aren't even close to that! I tuck a few inches when I have a full load. Never that bad....

If I go with 16's on my wagon, which I most likely will, I'm going with the 50's.

I'm thinking about finding some Geminis for my wagon. Something from the 200 era.

Hmm, I don't see any damage though! I haven't felt any or anything! perhaps my rear fenders have been rolled? :P

I believe GTJordan on turbobricks is thinking about selling a set of Geminis

BTW... you guys should roll your fenders. rubbing at high speeds is super dangerous.

There's a guy local to me who has some Geminis that I'm gonna test fit to see how I like them. I want something different, something not pegs or volans.
