Pretty wheels! Now tires?

Didn't you do the TC brake upgrade, Claude? If so, forget about the 14's - my 15" ten-holes clear the calipers by about 1/8 inch

Hmm.. Thanks for saving me there.......


And No rubbing issues... and my car is low...the tire is like 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch away from the fender lip.  Lock to lock and even on bumps it never rubs.  100% no issues with 245's

*edit*  The picture in my sig is Pre-Lowered.

NP :D Now if you want to be saved again, make sure you have a TC spare tire. Your original spare will not fit over the brakes either :nono:

Thanks for all the help guys!  I decided on the Potenza G 009's and managed to catch them on sale at the base Auto Care Center for $76 a piece!  They should be here next Tuesday or Wednesday, I wil be sure to get some nice pics of them after they get mounted.

Im also going to be cleaning up the 8-hole wheels and perhaps getting some winter tires mounted on them in case of emergencies.  Definitely going to be going with the Blizzak WS50s.
