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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I was looking in the fs section on tb and they're super expensive. These one come with caps. We're going to test fit em this weekend and they're still for sale. So I'll see how I like them on an 850.
