Out of curiosity, is anyone running a 180/70/15 instead of a 170/80/15? If so, anyone got any pics? Also, if anyone is running one, have you noticed a difference in handling?

I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work, there is definitely room in the wheel well and 10 mm wider, I'm sure she will still hold air.

Thanks again Ryk, much appreciated. I'm still going to go with running a 17" rear, this was a tire size that I ran across in my research and was curious about.

Cool, good to know Ben. Do you notice any difference in the handling?

It's been so long I don't remember honestly, but I still rip it up pretty good. No harm no foul I'd say.
