Thanks Chris, I got the specs from the owner's manual. Given the feedback
from the group, I think I'm going to go to 36/36. 

Can't wait to put the 16s on the car...I haven't bought tires yet, thinking
about the Dunlop 5000s, but we'll see what's available in the spring.

BTW, Anybody have a set of 4 center caps for 5 spoke 16" wheels?
