    Hopefully this should be an easy question to answer. I know the project Midget has 14" wheels, but what tires did you guys end up running?

    I'll answer in both spots.

    We used Kumho Power Star 758 tires in a 165/70R14 size. They fit pretty well on the 14x6 Superlite wheels we chose, but with two "full-sized" adults, it rubbed a bit over bumps.

    I tried drag racing, but kept blowing the apex for turn 2... Xbox Live gamertag— GRM Tom

    In reply to Tom Heath:

    Thanks! I have 14" wheels on order and was trying to decide what to put on them. I'm tending towards something in a 175/65R14 to fill the arches out more than the 175/60R13s that came off the car. These should come out at just about the same size as the ones you're running - just a little wider. I have a square wheel arch car but am planning to cut them round, so I think I should be OK.
