Panasport Wheels

[Bobby Smith]

Anyone here have a good source for Panasports? Looking for a 9x15 or something close to that size.

Love the Minilites! I've been debating on a set for a while. I've read that they actually run wider than the size marked on the wheel. Can anyone verify this?
Magnus: What width are you running on the silver car?

Does anyone have experience using their 15x7 wheels on a narrow body car? If so, what size tires are you able to get away with?

[Bobby Smith]

I've got some experience with this. I assume you are using 7x15 Fuchs with 4 3/4 inch backspacing. Keep in mind that not all tire manufacturers make the same size tire. In other words a Hoosier 225/45 will be wider than a 225/50 Kumho etc. etc. I used to like the 195/60 on a 7 inch wheel. It fits nicely and your gearing will be close to stock. Most any manufacturers 195/60 will work. For autocrossing you can fit a 205/50 Hoosier A-6 but the Hoosier 225/45 will NOT work with a 7 on my 911. I was able to fit the Hoosier 225/45 on 7R's with the proper spacers. Remember that your ride height will also effect the width of the tire you can use. My car is LOW. I have a friend that gets away with 225/45's on a 7 but his car is very stiff and quite a bit higher than mine. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me.

If you'd learn how to drive you wouldn't need such wide rubber.

sounds like something I've said to a certain noodle-man once or twice....
