Wheels and tires are in

I got some Superlite GTR wheels last month. I had them powdercoated black cause I didn't like the logos on the rim. They just didn't go with the look I want for the car. Too modern and tuner car. The guys at Tires Plus in Longmont installed a set of Bridgestone Potenza all season sport tires on them today. The wheel wheel next to the Superlite is one of the four that were on the car when we got it. Those weren't the original wheels anyway, they are two piece aluminum wheels with Opel stamped in them. Those wheels and tires are the exact size of the originals steel wheels that came on it new though. Anyway, the new wheels and tires are 165-65-13's instead of 145-80-12's meaning the tires are almost an inch wider. The tire calculations put the new tires as 1.5% larger in terms of the circumference of the originals. The complete wheel and tire combo weighs just one pound more than the Opel set-up meaning they should still be lighter than the OEM steel wheel and smaller tire combo while providing considerably more traction. Not bad, now hopefully I got the backspacing measurements right and we won't have to run spacers.
