Hi there, I need two bits of info off the 'zone.....

1) How do I remove the gearknob?Have tried pulling it off, and also trying to twist it-any ideas?!

2) What is the standard tyre size for the 15" BBS wheels? (i'm gonna get new tyres-found a good deal on camskill for 4 x 195/50/R15 Toyo T1-S)

Would they be suitable? (will the speedo read too fast or too slow?!)


Thanks Peeps

As far as the gear knob goes, if it's standard then it will pull off. It does require a fair bit of force, just make sure you don't smack your self in the face when it comes free. If it's non original, check for grub screws around the base of the gear knob.

You want 205/55 r15... 195/50 will make the speedo overread quite a bit. 205/50 is quite a popular choice too...
