Planning on some new 3 piece wheels. Negligable price difference between the two widths. 9" seems a little wide for the Kumho 710,s in the 215/50/13" size....
I would go with the 9's simply cuz they are more common (I'm cheap by nature). I tried the 9"front/8"rear combo for a couple of years too on the theory that it...

I am finding an issue with getting the power to the ground as well. There are some Mini's in my region and they have Quaife LSD's. The brake hoses did not...
Hey there Mark - I just tried the 215/50/13 710's on 13x9s (the previous tires I was running on were _old_ Hoosiers... A3S03's!) Although I don't have a direct...
Weather was a bit weird on day 2, but great event for sure! Jake, I absolutely love the diesel. The big trail of smoke and the turbo noises were very cool....
Hey Guys (and gals), A friend of mine works for Yokohama and needs your input!! I'm constantly ragging on him that we need better tires in sizes to fit our VWs...
17's are the starting point? Better be looking at 13"-15" tires for "our" needs. Otherwise, ill just stick with the tire manufactures that already make tires...

Agreed, we need the smaller sizes. I can't belive a 205/50/15 isn't on the list....for years it has been the most popular size. Anywho, for my mkIII: ...
Yoko needs to produce wide 13" diameter tires for both HP street use and off-road (ie: autocross and road race) use for 70's and early 80's sports type cars. ...

Hmm - I run an almost antique vehicle that requires 225/50-14 and 205/50-14 R-compound tyres. However Yokomama hasn't produced a tyre worth a damn in many...

Let me clarify - Yokomama hasn't made an R-Compound tyre worth a damn in many years. After the A008, the A032 just plain sucked. I never wasted my money on...
