The point is, It's NOT "for not much more $$" ... You have to add the cost
of the
15" rims and tires to that total cost. That all by itself, if larger
diameter tires with
wider contact patch are used, REQUIRES the larger BB kit of some iteration
or
another. There is no "half-measure" in the deal if you go to BB.
Well worth the investment in my experience. I know of 2 vans that have 15"
rims
with OE tire diameter where the OE brakes control the van very well. Very
stable
stopping power. Syncro's too.
