I love all buses, splits, bays, vanagons, and even Euro's. I can't afford a 
euro and Emily wants a Rialta. So I compromise by driving a Vanagon for 
comfort. Call me spoiled.

Gas-AdjustTo: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Monday, October 13, 2008, 2:25 PMWith 5 
spokes I had to run a spacer to make to wheel sit out more because of thesnout 
on the hub.This cured the snout problem but cause the tire to be under thelip 
in the wheel well.on a bump or when I had a passenger it would hit , to 
cure(but with a slight raise in the height ) the coil-overs cured the problem, 
ThenI put EMPI Sprint Stars .They have a bigger opening for the hub,so I 
didn'tneed the spacer , With out the spacer it doesn't hit .I could roll with 
outthe coil overs now but the ride is awesome.I usually run 145 up front 
and165's on the rear , but have 165 x 4 now. I,ll put the ride of my truck 
upagainst any ones for comfort of ride.Paul
