From my experience, Dunlop Tires are VERY PICKY about rim width. I had a set of SP 9000's on 17X7 rims(different car) & couldn't get the balance right, & the car always pulled, & vibrated. However, a few poeple on this board have used Dunlop tires & been fine. So It's a shot in the dark.

If your OE rim is at least 7.5" wide then you should be fine. I've heard nothing but good things about the all-season performance of this tire. It's rated 2nd only to the highly touted (and highly priced!
) Michellin Pilot A/Ss. I have the Michellin's on my Max and have just ordered SP 5000s for my Escort.
