Sounds like a project coming along nicely.

One question though: why 215/55/16? Stock size is 205/55/16, and the upgraded plus size is 225/50/16. 215/55/16 is an odd size to use, not to mention it'll throw the speedometer of a little bit.

.I talked to the guys at discounttiredirect.com and they are the ones that hooked me up with them.they said they will not throw the speedo of at all.they also said that it would be better for me to get 215/55/16 insteady of the 225/50/16.so I went by there advise and got the 2/15 instead..thanks for you r comments they are always welcome and for all the help everyone has giving me on berettanet.like I said before ill post pics when im done.should be only a month or 2 and it will me damn near done..

Well they don't know what proper sizes are then

205/55/16 is stock tire size, to keep the diameter of the tires the same 225/50/16 is the next size up. It works great as the wheels are 7" wide on the beretta (at least the Z26 are). The Grand Am GT's run that size but their wheels are more narrow, so we have the advantage at putting more of that rubber on the road.
