Anyone running 6" rims on their sI or II's? I believe these were std on the SIII (or alteast an option?). Just curious if you had experience clearance issues and if so, anything you did to run them or just avoid it?

thanks!,

It seems to vary car to car. Some people have installed aftermarket 6" Dayton wheels and experienced some interference between the inside of the tire and the rear bump stop. Others have not experienced this problem. Those who hav experienced the interference have solved the problem by removing the rubber bump stop. If you are going to mount 205-70 tires 6" wheels are virtually a must as most manufacturers recommend at least a 5.5" wheel for that size tire.
