I shall be in the corvette territory (tire wise) by the end of next year.

315s will probably take up close to half of the entire space in the rear from side to side.

Cant wait to see it.

looks good, that spoke design really fits the sedan well. that must be a narrow 295 because my 295 over 11 doesnt look anywhere near that stretched...maybe its a 20's thing.

Wish I could even attempt to do any of this here in Chicago. Our roads are so horrible that even the best quality rims would be bent in a week.

I've driven Chicago roads many times (my Mom lived there for 15 yrs or so - just moved last year)... most of your roads are smooth as glass compared to many of our roads.

*I don't know why so many people think So Cal roads are so good... many of them are just complete crap and there is no money to fix them.

IMHO...that spoke design looks good when you are running a BBK...it just doesn't look right with the small oem.

Anything open faced would make small brakes look horrible

mesh wheels hide the brakes well.

Is the claim really that bold? Yes, it looks good. But it also looks like 'practical' fitment until you look under the car... just a bit on the extreme end of practical.

You guys think socal roads are bad, come here
