All;
-I'm running on my TIGER the 16" Mustang GT TRX rims (you Metric
"freaks" can go ahead & multiply it by 25.4!) with the 180/65
Michelin's. Spacers are 1".
-I have no scraping/rubbing/unexpected wear with this combination.
Don't do many U-turns, but no scuffing from this either.
-They look REAL nice & get PLENTY of comments everywhere I drive
it.

I find the 185/70-13 size particularly useful for those
applications where one just parks the car and looks
at it (yeah, yeah, just like I usually do). Gotta find
some funds in the budget to upgrade to 205/60-13.
And these Yokohama A008's are supposed to be sticky,
too.
BTW, isn't 185 the stock size on Geo Metros or something?
Just my $.02, see my signature file below.
