    14in rims

    Does anyone know if we can fit 14in rims onto the bus? If so anyone know of a good set of 14x7 rims?

    yes, I fit my wife's 14" rims on my car. I however noticed a problem while at the drag strip with them. After I passed the 1/4 and would apply the brakes to slow down, my abs would kick in. It was strange...not sure why that happened. Could have been something to do tires...maybe they were slippery, they were from a mazda protege.

    cuz u prolly had another size on the rear.
    if front/rear arent same diameter it will cause abs probs.

    ah, I had the 17's in the rear, you're right. I only applied slight pressure and the tires were only 195 :) I wanted to see if it would help, but it was much worse, all I did was spin out the entire time at the strip.

    I was also looking into panasports. I think Toyo Proxies come in 225/45/14.

    95GSR's dad uses them on both his race cars(91 crx, 99 si)
