PRESSURES
2.5bar front, 2.7 rear might be a good starting point...-JTS
I have the same car (Well, 1998!). How in H. . . . can you put these wheels on this car? Don't they rub on the fender (wing?) housing when you turn hard? Don't they stick way out? And as a matter of enlightenment,, please explain if these wheels and big tires are mainly appearance items or do they noticeably enhance driving pleasure? I thought a 17" wheel gave you a narrow sidewall so there was better control at the expense of a hard ride, especially on less than perfect roads?
Trying to figure it all out!! Cheers!.
