^ Saintor's actually right about the tire height, overall height is different.

Also I don't understand how you have two different tire heights front and rear (265/35 and 285/35)....I am surprised that you don't get an error. My car has the old type FTM (flat tire monitor) that works on the differential of rotation... I am certain that I would have an error!.

I would prefer more traditional BBS-type but that's just me.

Thanks guys! I was a little shocked that you guys liked these wheels since they weren't 19s or 20s.

Tires actually get some decent reviews. I have had many different set of tires so I wanted to try these out to compare them.

As far as tire height, I am not that far off from stock. About -1.5% front and -1.9% rear difference.

There's a Mazda 3 in there somewhere as well. We here in IL have issues. I'm no exception.

My only problem is now I have to go thru the finance committee

So isntead of replying for saying nothing (as usual) rather than apologizing for giving the wrong info, go back doing your usual little gay things as;
- driving a pink car
- starting a poll to select the color of your galipers
- driving a Prius
- singing Whitney Houston songs.

You are a dumb-ass.

Kids trump cars any day of the week. Witness my recent debt reduction thread. Also, one of my "justifications" for buying my current car was that I wanted a sports car I could put a booster seat in.

I can't wait for the new gen M3 to be out. M5 has always been my dream adult car but at the current rate of car size growth, the M3 will be big enough.

???? In today's economy, there are actual reasons for people to live with their parents than just mooching off them. I don't think it's wise or mature to insult people like that.
