    With the 205's, the car was sitting ON the tires. He couldn't drive it without raising the car to 4x4 levels. I had to raise the Miata a bunch just to drive it home and was still scrubbing.

    Now give me your new wheels. I think they'd look amazing on the MR2. I'll trade you my stock sawblade MR2 wheels and Miata daisys for them, I'll even weld them together and you can have REALLY wide wheels, they have tires we will just leave them two tires per wheel.

    I think it looks great that way. I have a feeling that my wheel/tire combo for my CVCC will be like that a bit. If so, I'd be ecstatic. Later, QD.
