I am planning on buying Dunlop SP Sport A2's on these rims.

Will they fit on these or will I get rubbing.

I am also ordering Koni Reds (if I can find a place that sells them), and later....Eibach springs to lose some of that 4x4 look in my '96 SE.
thanks for the help

they will fit, and you may get rubbing.
it depends on what sidewall height you get.
those are 15 inch wheels correct?

so i believe the sizing would be 215/55-15.
which may rub. i'd think if you went with 215/50-15 then they shouldn't rub. but that may throw off your speedo a bit. i'm too lazy to figure it out. use the tire size calculator or do the math. i would i just don't know what the sizing is on your car.

good luck

If you could find them (maybe you can, but I can't frown ) 215/55/15 would be a good fit. I'm trying to find either that size or 225/55/15 which would be almost a perfect match in diameter. Unfortunately, these sizes either don't exist or are too expensive.

I went with Pirelli P6000.

We'll see how they turn out.
205 60HR15...stock size.

I was told by National Tire & Battery to get 215 50R15's except they cost about $40 more each, so i stuck with stock size.

Next step is BAT kit this week, and I will get everything installed at same time so Toe, Camber, Alignment can get done at same time by NTB.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated as I'm installing shocks/springs myself, for first time.
