Suggest you stick with 78/80 series tyres
on the narrow factory wheels. (155's or
165's?).

The 70's will eat up your torque in terms
of "drag" on acceleration and "handling"
in all respects will suffer using a 70
aspect ratio on the stock narrow rims.

As someone said last week, the car
will lose it's "poise, balance" and
the "tossability" which account for
the car's "go kart" characterics and
"fun" driving factor. I think this came from
"Growler" (Grant Bowyer?).

I could not agree more.
