Perhaps the original equipment is different for Canadian spe c cars. My
1990 90Q is shod with 195/60-14s, which I will be upgrading shortly. A
local tire shop suggested that 205/50-15s are the largest option for me
but from what I've been reading on the list he is likely uninformed. 

I purchased this car about a month ago and my immediate visual
impression is that it has undersized wheels. If I go to a 205/50-15
(plus one), I will still have what appears to be a small wheel/tire
package in the wheel well.

Does anyone know the costs and or complications of moving to a larger
diameter package in terms of the speedometer calibration?
