Hello Cab,
This is why I love this forum !
I'm putting 14x8 zero offset wheels on the front (G60-14 tires).
I really don't plan on any radical canyon carving, but it does
seem like it would be a little easier to drive with one hand
on the wheel and one hand on the shifter, if I use power assist.
Believe me, I would prefer to eliminate as much stuff as I
could from the engine bay !
