Even a 205 prefers a 7 inch wide rim. 215's should not be run on anything narrower than a 7.5 inch. You're not optimizing your contact/tread patch with that narrow of a rim. However, that width made sense to the bean counters at Ford. Technical Director/Co-Owner Performance Fords-check out our new throttle body service 95 SE with lots of custom 1 off mods. All design, fabrication and installation by owner.

NOT "please readme!". -------------------- "your" is possessive, "you're" is the conjunction that is short for "you are", "there" is for "the dictionary is over THERE", "their" is the possessive one, and "they're" is a conjunction that is short for "they are". have a nice day :rolleyes: -------------------- Silver Frost non-E1 SVT/Contour see my registry/profile: http://contour.org/carprofile/carprofile.cgi?a=display&uid=00004623
