Hello!
Just purchased a 90 Spider and the previous owner put big old 16 inch rims on it with 205/55/R16's on them. Looks great, tasteful rims not all garish, but, on quick right hand turns or when braking hard while turning, the front drivers side catches on the inside of the fender. It's actually beginning to damage the lip. My question is...can I replace the front 205/55/R16's with a narrower and slightly shorter 195/50/R16's and leave the rear larger, like you see on older muscle cars? How would it affect the handling and drivability?
