17" will not fit on mine. Must be 18"

According to Michelin they will.

 

yeah because it is stretched....I mean, theres a large controversy over stretched tire. I guess he can mount it, but there will be a slight stretch.

 

here I use this to do all my tire sizing

Ill get him to price you out some 18"

 

thanks...225/50 18

 

I always have to laugh when i hear "will not fit" on tires. What makes it not fit? The fact that its not recommended to fit a 8.5" rim? If you're going to be pissing pants over an extra 12mm of rim width, you better think over lowering your car, leds, clear markers, plenum spacers, cai's, exhausts etc... No manufacturer is going to recommend those. Not directing this at anyone in particular, just a rant.

I especially love the offset guys that say "an extra 5mm of negative offset will kill your wheel bearings in 1000kms, but what coil overs should i get?"

 

Hahah. People that contradict themselves make me lollerskates. Offset doesnt hurt much, it's the million degrees of negative camber and the whole car dumped on face bit.

 

FWIW, I just closed a deal on a winter pkg with Buffalo tires.
It sure is nice having the option of going to 16" for winter

16x7.5 Sport Edition A7 $99.95



215/60/16 Nokian Nordman $109.95

 

...I can do 16's too...I would just need to find some winter brakes to go with the set
btw - sonicwall is blocking the images, are they ****?

 

lol... they must filter a$$hats that talk about winter too soon.

 

hahahaha....wait a second

 

Excellent Ian, I've used Nokians before and they were great winter tires (although mine were Nokian Hakkapaletas.)

 

Continental DWS all the way!

 

It's the Hakkas that I remember too Wayne; great tires in their day.
We'll see if these measure up
