Re: Correct 16" wheel / tire combo for a CQ?

["David Glasser" <evad@mindspring.com>]

Will 225/50 ZR16 Dunlop SP-8000's work on the original (I guess you call
them speedline) wheels?  I don't even know what size my (original speedline)
rims are.  Any info appreciated.

Thanks for your patience with this novice.
