I have generic brand 165/80's, and I am not too happy with them. I notice that if I give a wheel hub a quick shove sideways, the c; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00629.html (8,719 bytes)

Meanwhile, 175/70 is about the maximum width for a 4.5" wheel. I don't know as it's danger; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00655.html (8,816 bytes)
