    Smaller Tire OD - 205/40/R16

    I have some Enkei Zokus, 16x7 ET40 that I'm going to run with 20mm spacers. When I bought them they already had 205/40/R16's on them, which leaves the OD at 22.5". The tires still have decent tread so I want to run them. Aside from changing my speedometer readings and lowering my top speed, are there any other issues with running this smaller combination?


    Thanks,
    Adam

      Hah, yeah exactly - I'm not looking forward to the fender gap in the front. The car is on IE3 springs so it has a rear rake. The back gap will probably look fine.
