Re: V8 wheels



I have 16 x 7.5 ACT's with D40's on the V8 for spring,
summer and fall use in the rainy Northwest. They seem
to work very well. The car just does not slide. I find it
hard to find the limits on the street at speeds that I 
will not end up in jail over or seriously injure somebody.

Anyhow, I spoke with a suspension/tire and wheel shop here
that does race prep and street car setups. They are called
Speedware. Greg Fordahl told me that I would not notice 
very much by going to 17's. Better turn in and 10/10ths
response would be crisper. But for the street, not much 
for the money. He recomended springs and new shocks. Any 
thoughts out there?

Now as far as cosmetics, 17's would look great. I 
want to put the 16" ACT's on my wifes 100S. That would leave
me with a choice between 16's and 17's... 

'90 V8
'92 100S
