[V8] V8 17" Tire Size

[Ron Wainwright]

Ok, I gotch now.
 Two sets of Boleros..... were do you live again... & what times are you usually not home.... ;-)

 Was the web distributor worldimpex? I remember they sold them for $600 way back in the day.

 You can all so use 928GTS calipers with those Rs2 brackets.
& you get the Rs2 brackets through the GB I did through Javad?

 What brake lines you going with? Paragon makes nice ones with banjo fittings instead of the straight line fittings.

All so, I busted one of the lines once & found that you could use the OE rubber brake lines from the 5ktq's & 200tq's up to 1990.

 You dead set on using the Michelin Pilot Sport's? 

 Ron
