FWIW, minicoop900, the DSII's came with 45 series tires, so as Brendan mentioned, a wider 40 series tire will fit with no problems. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 12-31-2008, 10:21 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: New Orleans Posts: 970 | ok, put them on today man are they pretty, once i get my steering wheel ill do an update thread. only problem i have is that the sumitomos are damn noisy haha theyve been sitting for a year or 2 so well break them in again and see if that helps. __________________ ^being rebuilt^ until then: daily car: 96' Blue DASC'd ti with koni coilovers slowly progressing... weekend car: 85 1/2' 944 Porsche no a/c, p/s, gutted cat, loud as hell exhaust, loud as hell sound system | | | 12-31-2008, 10:54 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Fl Posts: 1,353 | Pics!
