Joe,

I'm still waiting for my 16" x 7.5 projektzwo 5 spoke wheels ET20mm( I try not to
think about it...going on 2 weeks now I think). When they do come in I plan on
stopping by a "prequalified" and "insured" tire dealer who will take the time to put
a tire or two on (and off), measure circumference of my existing 14" alloy with
215/70 tires and coming close to that measurement. I will probably go slightly larger
but we will see.

Need list opinion: Should I go as wide as I can with these tires - the same all
around, or, should I make the back tires wider than the front tires?  With a 7.5"
wheel, how wide can I go? Is it simply a mm to inches math conversion?

Hit me.
