<VV> More on Tire sizes; also vair spoilers

[Bryan Blackwell]

You may have clearance issues with the typical 15x7 Camaro wheels if 
the car is lowered - if you get a set with some more backspace they 
should fit just fine and the car will drive better.  The Camaro wheel 
puts all of the extra width on the outside.  I believe that a BMW wheel 
has backspacing closer to ideal for a Corvair.  For a bunch of examples 
of various setups, see:
