Are you going to mini-tub for those? That's a lot of tire, even for the wider rear fenders of the t/a.

Mini-tubs indeed! I don't want the tires to protrude from the fenders at all, and I also have no intentions on raising the ride height either to get them to fit.

Without seeing them in person, they are so wide they look short, like 15's. I gotta see how they look on the car. Any pics of the mini-tubs, and what kind of work went into getting them to fit?

Let us know how the tires perform. They are on my short list for the spring.

You know I'm a 3rd gen ***** when the first thing I noticed was the bird in the background. I always wanted to do a set of widened mesh style wheels on my bird actually, definitely in for pics, that will look sick for sure.

The wheels are going on my 4th gen WS6 pictured in my sig... not my '92 GTA.
Here's a pic of my GTA though since you're a 3rd gen fan too.

Will do. I chose those tires because they've received very high ratings for dry traction from all the tests that I've read. They don't perform very well when the roads get wet though, which really doesn't concern me since the car never gets driven in foul weather anyway. I also figured that if they're good enough to be used by the SCCA in road racing, they'll definitely be good enough for me.
