[DeTomaso] 15 inch tires

[Janne Mäki-Petäjä]

The outer corner of a too tall front tire will contact the fender in the 
front (where the fender bends under the car), when you turn the 
steering. So it may not be just a question of looking silly. Worth 
checking both sides...

Can't remember how tall the tire that caused me the headache was, but 
you could estimate measuring the gap with your current ones.

     my question for the fronts. I have Euro TAs on the front and they
     are about 24 3/4 tall. What would you think about using Avon 215/60
     15s on the front. the 60 profile is 25 inches tall? Would it look
     silly?

   Or maybe avon 225/60 15s on the front. the problem there is that they
   are about 3/4 in taller than the 245/50s I have on there now.
