Ok guys, now I'm really confused...it would appear from Glenn's
measurements
that I'm safe with the 205/50 15s which I had planned on....but Bob owns
one of these (90 90Q20v)
so I figure he oughta know.  I'd really like to avoid going down to the 45s
 for
several reasons (city driving, expense, minimal positives going from 50s to
 45s).
Anyone else out there got an opinion?  Bob, is your 90 still stock, ie:
could anything
else you've done to the car make those tires rub or is it just the net
effect of the
35 MM offset pushing the tires towards the outside of the car?

>>Anyone else have a comment? Bob, Paul what were your stock tire sizes?

My 90 90Q20v came with the "lace" BBS rims and 195/60/14s.
