The wheels came with 205 40's, looked awkard with such a narrow tire, the lip on the rim stuck out and the ride was extremely rough...ive got 215 45's on now, better ride and look with reduced wheel gap...was thinking about going with 225's but was told that it could cause rubbing when cutting the tire.

Where did you get those wheels and how much? I like em, but I'd want them in 16 if they made em.

I got them from wheelmax.com about 2 months ago or so...they had a special $770 shipped with tires.

are those really tein springs? i was thinking about them but the drop was only 1.5 inch, i was worried it woldn't be enough, but that looks perfect, do you have to go sidways on speed bumps?

How is the camber on the car???

Do you see any premature wear on the inside of the tires...?

I need to know cause I am debating weather to get camber kits with my spring purchase!

Looks like you finally put on those rims and took some photos.

What tires did wheelmax.com give you for the package? Brand that is.

I assume the size was 205/40, right? And you swapped them to 215/45 like you posted. Did you trade the *old* tires in at a tire store and bought new ones then?

Yeah, they state a 1.5 inch drop but it seems a lot lower...Ive rubbed once on a moutain of a speed bump with full car not paying too much attention...but have had no other problems, perfect drop.

They gave me Kumho's 205/40's, I actually still have the old tires that ill be posting on ebay, they have about 100 miles on them...as far as camber goes, I got a set for the rear, the front was adjusted to within factory spec without a kit, no worries about tire wear...Ill take some more pics in the next couple weeks.
