I have an original set of rims and tires available.
Very good condition, one small road rash on passenger front and the Conti's have 20K miles on them.'
I am wanting $400.00 for the set plus shipping.

 

where are you?

well i guess i can't just come by and pick them up. it would take me 3 days to get there. good luck on the sale jim

 

I AM thinking of getting two more front rims - been playing with the idea of having all four tires the same size so I can rotate them.

I guess I have something to think about.

 

If possible could you post some pics of the tires. I am interested in them if the tread life on the conti's are still decent. I live near Ft Riley so not that far away. Thanks

Not a good idea, for many reasons, search for details.

And also, they made our lady have a nice large *** and large rear tires for a reason

 

Fair enough, but.... I never would have thought of it, but look at page 159 of the owner's manual:

"If you need snow tires, the recommended size for the front and rear is the same size as the original equipment front tires. This size tire on the rear allows the use of tire chains on the rear wheels. Selection of this size tire also requires the purchase of two additional wheels with the same size specification as the original equipment from wheels."

Sure, they go on to warn that snow tires (which my car will NEVER see) are not to be driven at speeds over 75 mph... but I see no other warnings against same-size tires.

Now, maybe the warning is IMPLIED and they assume you will go back to performance tires and different sizes when spring comes.... and that you will never go fast with the same-size tires all around because they are snow tires.

But it doesn't SAY that.

Just a thought I have been mulling over ... I'm still willing to listen. '

So keep talking!

 

you know shipping on those tires should not be too awful bad... RCompart shipped my tires to me from MI to Coastal GA was only like 125.00, but they was just the tires, not rims

 

It is somewhat mechanical, such as not having the correct speed displayed on your speedo (only a marginal difference). But the biggest thing is if you do not do larger size sidewall in the rear, it will not have the stance it should, and once you go to a larger sidewall in the rear, you eliminate the ability to rotate front to rear, so you are in the same boat. The car was designed for staggered wheels from the beginning, it is the only way it can be right IMHO. If you are limping through rough weather on snow tires, maybe that is on thing, but with a lady this pretty, I say go 19" front and 20" rear, don't downsize

 

I will try to do that this eveing and get them posted.
Be patient...I am a bit of a dinosour in IT
