    I have a set on there now consisting of 6s at the back and 5.5s at the front. The 4.5 Fuchs would be put on there for this article and for potential other events (including resale).

I've had other brands on SWB cars with 4.5 steel wheels and felt the same. Even freeway driving with a gusty crosswind can be a handful. I suspect that any 165-15 would disappoint in that regard.

    If driving hard, you might consider having a set of 5.5" or 6" Fuchs refinished in the 67S style using a wider tire. Huge difference in handling. I've thought about doing that with the S but I drive like a grandma and prefer stock.
