Do you think you will have a problem with the 29.2" 225-75-16s rubbing? I was thinking of this size but the 205-80-16s by Michelin come in at 28.9" (also factory in the Syncro 16s). >> HI David, how are things up there in beautiful Canada? My 16" rims are Ronal R9's which were discontinued about 3 years ago. I was very lucky to find a new set on the shelf of a Mercedes racing team in SanFran. I called Ronal in Arizona which gave me the phone number in SF. The rims are a perfect fit, especially for the syncro. On the tire I want to use, I will be buying one tire first for a test fit. See ya. Michael Modl 87 syncro 87 quattro |
