I cant recall what size the tires were but the rims were 20". It was alittle big for the car. They are changing them to 17" to make it cheaper when he has to buy new times in the future.

Thanks Craig

I thought they were a little big myself. Of course I am a little old school 70s and 80s styling still looks good to me. I no the today styling is the bigger the wheel the better.

I was planning on going with 15" but have just about decided to go to 17" to be a little more modern. I just wanted to make sure the ones on Mylan's car were not 17".

My tire guy told me a couple of months ago they now have 26" wheels. With wheels that large I guess it doesn't matter what car you put them on or how the car looks. No one will ever notice anything but the wheels.

I am kind of surprised they would make any changes to a Overhaualing vehicle after the show. I guess that is what makes this show different. You guys are true professionals.

Thanks
