Allo The van that I am looking to buy ( (1986 Vanagon westy) comes with 215-60-16 tires. Looks pretty cool... The van has been lowered with shorter springs from Van Cafe and adjustable Koni shocks were installed. The owner says that with the combination of shorter springs and Koni shocks the highway handling has improved dramatically and keeping up with traffic through the corners is no problem and brake dive is almost nonexistent. I am wondering however if there would be any rubbing issues with such a setting...he says no but I have doubts as I have never seen 16" tires on a Vanagon...what would you guys say? Thanks Alain Sent from my iPad 2 |
