[urq] Alternat wheel sizes and matching tires for 1985 ur-q

[Ed Kellock]

Agree.  Mine is lowered, although I don't know what shocks and springs
are in there and with 225/50's on the 16x8's I had a very slight rub
when turning and going through a dip or driveway.  Was possible at all
four corners.

Regardless of wheel, the main issue with using the same tires/wheels
on both the urq and the S-car is stock original diameter.  They are
over an inch different.  Anything you choose will be a compromise on
both ends.  Optimally you'll be about 1/2 inch too large on the urq
and about 1/2 inch too small on the S.

The 225/45 16's are in between, and nominally will be less too-large
on the urq and more too-small on the S, depending on manufacturing
differences, so the S would require the greater attention to speedo
correction factor.
