15' vs 16' S90-V90

posted by someone claiming to be Paul on Fri Jun 13 12:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

vvpete,

The bolt pattern of the 240's fit but the brake caliper hits because the offset is wrong. The wrong offset works to your advantage when going the other way (960 to 240 like you did), but it my load the wheel bearings a little more.

I know they might ride more smoothly but why do you think that 15" wheels have better load carrying capability?? I was thinking of 205/55-16 or 205/60-16 or some such thing.
