Bridgestone RE-11's mounted

305 and 275 refer to tire width not rim widths. A 10in wheel can accomodate a range of different tires.

Yep. 305 is technically a little too wide for a 10" rim so it's not optimal, it will still work though, it's just going to function more like a 295.

That's awesome! props to you for getting detail in the black tires on a white car.

Do us a BIG favor PLEASE!!!!

Take some pics of the rear of the car more straight-on from the rear so we can see how FAT those look from the back.

I tried but failed. I will try again under more controlled lighting.

LOL... I was gonna say the same thing. We Photochop guys can pull the detail out of the shadows quite easily. Just over-expose it a bit and park the car so the sun or light-source is hitting the rear of the car. WE'll do the rest ;-)

Just post the pics you have here and we'll tweak and re-post...

Also, it seems these changes the ire diameters a bit - they are a bit shorter than stock so let us know if the traction control/VDC acts up - it would throw a slip light if anything. So you just scrapped the OEM tires for these?

I already tried the photoshop route, there wasn't enough detail to pull out unfortunately. I'm going to try with the car in the garage next.

The VDC traction control is working fine. Yes the tires are slightly smaller than stock but there are actually closer in size to each other than the OEM tires. I still have the OEM tires and may sell them because they are barely worn (400 miles highway driven).
