Hey DeLucCL-S,
Can you take pictures of both how the tire fits on the wheel and how it looks overall on the car. Maybe a couple of face shots ( and closeups ) of the wheel / tire. Then one from down low, facing the rear end, to show how it fits on the car itself.
Thanks...........

I sold my stocks for $200 + shipping, they had 15k miles on them. Just put a ad in the black market. Bought new re's for $602 including shipping (tirerack) mounting here was $40/all 4 soooooo New RE's cost me $442.

it is a pleasure getting them back on
no rubbing, the tires extend out past our shitty rims, so no scrapes
handling is 50% better
don't listen to all the negative remarks, there are enough of us with this size that say it works

I thought you can only put 225s as the biggest on the stock wheels? My assumption has always been that you can only go another 10 from what it normally comes with...thus 215 to 225. DOes your tires stick out from your wheels?
