Alphanumeric,
If you are running stock, one thing to remember is those bigger wheels and tires are heavier and take more power to turn. How much I haven't a clue. Also the 225/50-15 or 225/45 -15 tires will fit on the stock size rims.
thanx for the advice
!! i've got a set of stocks for autox sitting around in my garage. i've got 205/50/15 falken rt-615s since when i got them i didnt know that i could go up to 225s and stay legal for street tire class i can definitely feel the difference between the 15's (running shoes) and 17's (casuals). when the tires wear out, im looking into a set of rota slipstreams (which ill never run on the street) or FD's. i've heard that FD's need spacers though, is that right ?

didnt do as well as i'd expect, i kept swinging the rear out and couldn't get used to the car's quicker accelleration (had some fuel system work done a few days before) hopefully i can learn how to handle the extra quickness by next event on aug 25

I don't have a mx6 but i want to buy one, my question is which one is faster??
88-92 mx6 GT --> 2400lbs 2.2 4cyl turbo engine 145hp/190tq
92-97 mx6 LS --> 2600lbs 2.5 V6 engine 160hp/160tq
On my opinion the old one wins from take off

for outright speed, i'd take the 1st gen, but for looks and decent speed, i'd go with a 2nd gen. mine's not that fast in a straight line, and maybe with a better driver could be faster around corners but it's a fun enough drive for me--VRIS FTW !!!

selling it? why? isn't a good and fast car like all say?
Not fast, Pretty reliable but at a certain age they need a bit of money put into them.
Think of a Mazda 626, Your speeds are about the same As it is the exact same car chassis and drive terrain.
Not a huge aftermarket for these cars either. Either you go big or go home.
