Hi Graham, Since the wheels you plan to use are an inch narrower than what I had they should work fine. Once you get the wheels, you should very carefully mount them on the car before you mount the tires and double check every thing. Most wheel companies won't take wheels back after tires have been mounted.

Hi Herb, The Hopster apparently only comes with 3.75. I made a mistake about the rim size - 15x7 is going to be the rim size. So, with 15x7 w/ 3.75 backspacing, 225-60 in the front should be OK? -Graham On 10/3/04 9:34 PM, "Herb Lumpp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Graham, > > Before I moved up to 17" wheels, I had 15's on the Elky.
