The off-set must be different between our rims.

I'm running 225/45/17 on my Volans, and I rubbed like crazy in the back until I pulled the fender liners. Now I only rub a little bit, and as soon as i get my hands on a fender roller, that will be gone as well.

As for the front, i definitely rub when i turn all the way to lock, but as was said, modified driving habits tend to cure that. Even if i only turn to the point where i dont rub, it still has a MUCH tigher turning radius than my integra had.

Hows your ride? I have been thinking of going bigger to help with the bumps. Can you post some profile picturs of the wheels?

I've been thinking about getting a spare set of wheels. Some 16's with 205/55's on them.

Cool, thanks

Can I ask for one more? a profile picture from the ground with the tire pointed towards you (like it would run you over)

Do you like the Angel eyes? Been thinking about them, how are they holding up, rock chips, etc.

Has your car been lowered any?

RSPI: car is stock ride height.

Boxpin: SO far I'm really happy with them - I have had them about 8 months now and they seem to be holding up pretty well. I'll snap a pic for you tomorrow when the wife's car isnt in the way.

Boxpin: What grit sand paper are you using to prep your car for painting?
