3rd. Gen. Rims on a 2nd. Gen.
I just bought some 3rd. gen. rims to put on my second gen for autocross.
What size tires do I need?
Also, I know i need spacers. How wide?
Thanks,
-RXTASY

Auto'xing with 25mm spacers is definently not recommended. It is very strenuous on the wheel studs and bearings...you will need to get new studs that are longer also.

i think the 3rd gen rims are too wide to go on the front unless u roll the front panels and stay with 225's.....having managed a busy tire i have seen someone trying to make it fit and not make it rub.... suggest trial fit with 225 on front then drive in parking lot as see....good luck
