Tire pressure
Hi,
Just switched my 15x8 and 15x7 Fuchs wheels on my '87 Carrera Cab for a set of 16x8's and 16x7's. Can any one help me with the correct air pressure for this setup?
I am running Falken Azenis RT 215's in 245/45ZR16 size all around. (These are slightly smaller than recommended). By the way, this car has never handled better.
Any help appreciated.

Miker,
I would stick with the stock 29 psi front and 36 psi rear to start an tweek it downward a lb at a time as indicated.
However, a 245 tire is waaaay too wide for a 7" wheel. 225 would be max.

Steve

Miker,
You should be using a 225 in the rear and can "probably" also fit a 235 or 245 and would give you more rubber on the road. Search the archives.
