Rim and Tire package complete *pics*
got the tires tonight...i know u guys won't like em, but i gotta tell ya, it's the most practical tire...the extra load rating will help me a TON in autox and when doing sharp cornering b/c of the weight of the car...the assymetrical pattern helps for more even treadware b/c of normal rotation, not like unidirectional tires where it's back and forth only...and the price was decent...i think i'm the first to try em on here, so i'll b sure to test them good and give u feedback...for those looking for a max perf. tire that can handle the weight of the car and then some who do not have a preference in tread pattern, this tire may b one to consider
some snaps...

otherwise, i woulda considered 18's no problem...the rims were an impulse buy b/c of the price, so o well
price of the Nero's was $165 in my size...originally, when i was looking at the 225-45, it was $140
Blake from Tire Rack was MORE than helpful...we went through like EVERY spec on all the tires i was interested in, which is y i was biased towards the Nero's...no matter what comparison we made, the Nero's were either identicle or better in every comparison...keep in mind, i'm just talking about the 235-45-17's...if u go on TireRack and look at the specs of the tire, this specific size has the MOST load rating, about 500 pounds more than all the others

It's gonna look great Scooter.
I hope this fixes your rubbing problem.
At least you shouldn’t get busted for driving a “stock” looking car anymore.
But I’m sure we’ll find something else to harass you about daily.

Damn Scooter... you're going in stages here. 
Can't wait to see the pics with them on the car. Of course the snow needs to stop for that to happen... and who knows when that will be.....

Here in Texas there aren't many curves, I don't do course racing, not in to show, but in to all out straight line acceleration then 17"s are better.

I think 5-Spokes always look better then 6.
With FIVE spokes and FIVE lugs it just looks more balanced.
That’s what I don’t like about the 2003 wheels.
