Switched from 185/60/14 to 165/65/14
The 185's rubbed the fenders when turning hard and also when going over bumps. The rear were close to the spring perches.

I got a stage 1 clutch from spec clutch. $199, came with the clutch, pressure plate, throw out and pilot bearing. Quality looks good. Only time will tell how it works.
