What are your tire sizes? Front /rear. How is the noise and do they feel bumpy on the road. I'm thinking of putting these on 18"x9 18"x8 rims.

What were your original rims and tires and how do they compare.

My tire sizes are 245/35's in the front, and 275/30 in the rear. The noise isnt bad, and they dont feel any bumpy as i would expect from a 18 or 19 inch rim....i just always thought thats par for the course. I do love the way they handle, especially in the rain.

I had the original 17" stock crap that came with the car, im not even sure what they were i gave them away for free.

You should be driving around some nice roads around Europe with that size of wheels...... 2 wheels and tires a month at least .....
Don't you think that when they built the cars the are aware of the real conditions of the roads?
You can drive in a highway with some confort with 19" and 20" but what about secondary roads? Don't you have those around there ? With lots of holes? ....

P.S.: JIMM, next time you can send it over here...

Tuga i just got my car back after 2 weeks, blew out 2 tires, and dented two rims to the point they couldnt hold air. and that was from an expressway pot hole......
I know, i should have sold them on e-bay, or kept them i could have used them these last few weeks.
