Re: Wheels and unsprung weight and some boring math

The original tires in the rear were

Mike,

The 205/60/13 tires have a diameter of 22.7" vs. the 185/60/13 
diameter of 21.7".  Am I wrong or did I miss something??  Seems like 
you gain an inch in height in the front and lose 1.5" of height in 
the rear.

My 195/70/HR13 tires with original wheels (cast aluminum I suppose)
weigh in at 32lbs. mounted, balanced, and lug nuts included.

Where are the pics of this new setup??
