I have those wheels :p How do they fit on those tires? I have 235/40's and I imagine anything skinner would look too skinny on the wheels but I dont know. But I think your tires are taller and they look good like that.

the reason for that size of tyre was that they are about 1/2 the price of anything bigger. 225/40's would have been my choice.

215 are ok. a bit streached but nothing serious. the car needs a bit of lowering going on but it will happen when funds are around.

That looks a lot better than I was expecting with those tires, guess it's the difference in narrow/wide body. Looks really good. Can't believe it's not lowered either.

what offset are they? if it is about the 35mm mark you could get them redrilled. they are really nice wheels. i lost nearly 10kg of unsprung weight by going to them

ours are 110x5 correct? ...i'll have to ask him what the offset is maybe i can get them for a decent price and have them modified to fit...or maybe it would be better to buy the right wheels...who knows.

Nope, they're 5x100. Real nice by the way. I hear they dont make them in anthracite anymore. Bummer. Like these:

A 4 year thread revival, nice! I have 225/45/17 on mine. I love the look, only thing is according to my GPS at highway speeds the car's speedo reads about 5 mph slower than actual speed because the overall diameter is more than stock. It's easy to compensate for it though.
