Fair enough. Soooooo... What, if anything,.can be done to improve WB steering feel?

Somewhat separately, as much as I'm a 16" Fuchs, especially Fuchs Evo, fan boy / devotee, I think my '89 M491 "hot rod" build (eventually shooting for ~2,500 pounds & ~350 hp) is likely gonna need more rubber than my current 205 & 245 happy place. If I do Ruf 9&10 x 17 wheels, what are the recommended tire sizes? I'm not looking to cram the absolute largest tires possible under the fenders as I would A) prefer to avoid fitment issues and B) attempt to preserve some steering feel.

BTW, I know we've gone completely off the rails / this post's original topic.Such is life in the big (Pelican Parts forum) city.

Drove this Ruf wheel "laden" '89 930 last fall. It and it's wheels "left a mark."





Thx!
