the plexi glas is a wind deflector... it allows a conversation at highway speeds with the top down ...its raining right now... but when it stops ill post a pic of the top compartment lid and how much was taken off.. its not much
about a half moon  half the diameter of the bar.
(half of a 2.5 in circle)  when your top cover lid is open. you can remove the grey surround by taking the nuts off from the inside ...its easier to cut if its off..ill send pics soon ...be good ..joe

Hello all,
Lazy as I am, can anyone tell me the fatest, tallest tires I can put on the standard 15" wheels on my 1993? It would be nice if the speedometer & mpg are not too affected...
Thanks!

Be careful with the tire sizes as the plus sizes with multiple listings are for different wheel widths.

All Plus zero is, is the default wheel size to start from. so if 0 is the starting OEM rim size, each plus after is next inch size of for a possible fitting rim.

so basically there are 2 size of 15s you can use without messing up your speedo. those are all the sizes that will fit and keep the cars speed correct

Going over the tire size chart which really helps, I was wondering if going with 205/45-16's will fit with the regular struts? Hopefully I don't need coilovers since my struts are new. I don't care about the speedo being off, I just want traction. Hell, I speed everywhere I go anyway.

So as long as the calc. comes up negative I'm good as long as i take wheel width into consideration. I'm going through Tirerack.com for the widest range of rim widths. Since this is a major purchase I want to make sure so I don't have a set of rims & tires to sell at a loss.
