Hi ChrisSlicks, did you have to put any spacers on at all to make it look good with those sizes? You went with the Hankook tires right? Thanks.

I installed the Bridgestone RE-11's.

As for spacers, yes, you will need spacers for a flush look. I'm going with 15mm all around but you could do 20mm in the rear.

yah, well you'll get tramlining from that width so im not a fan, that's all.

even the sport package wheels/tires exhibit tramlining. not something you want to increase by adding the wrong width tires.

We have steering wheels for a reason. ;-)

Yep. As long as you're not trying to steer with your knees while drinking coffee and talking on your cell phone it's perfectly controllable.
