Something modest, not radical, yet allow me to run a 14 or 15 inch tire. I read somewhere about the Projekto (spelling) rims being a rim that did this, but you needed to add a longer swing arm to the sliding door to allow it to clear the wheel on the right side when the door was opened. Have wondered where to get the longer door swing arm, as well as sources for the rims. Anyone know about these?? John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
