Ok....After a few years of the stiff controlled ride I am getting with my IPD springs and sway bars, Tokico shocks and 225/50/16 on Hydra's I am looking for a bit more comfort. Without going the route of changing the shocks to something softer, I am thinking of going to a taller sidewall with a 15 inch wheel.
I know this looks ugly but the setup now is too stiff.
What about a 215/60/15 setup on some nice OEM maybe S70 wheels with the adapter.
Any ideas specifically tire size recommendations would be prefered.
I should mention that the car has a 1995 B230FT, an electric fan conversion and a M90 gearbox (all work by Nino Gambino) Irv Gordon's personal mechanic.
