Haha, OK, optical illusion, then - I wouldn't be able to tell the tires were only .2" larger from the photo, lol!

Am I...no but I have seen xD's on 19's. You will have rubber band type tires but it should be doable without mods.

With rolled 245's you should be ok, what is the offset of the rims?

The overall diameter is only .2 inches more than the stock size. My new rims are 17" . The guy I got them from works for Cooper and they were only used for 2 months. They look like brand new! My son was so jealous when he saw them...LOL! He bought the rims at Summit Racing which is pretty close to me. The rims alone are $135 each, new.

Probably since they're just sitting there with no weight on them. I think when I get them mounted on the car it will look sit pretty close to where it is now. But it will look soooo much nicer

Here's a couple pics of my Katana wheels - very similar to yours only 5 spoke and the back part of the spokes are painted black... these were taken before I lowered the car, the fenders are now flush with the top of the tires:

Figure I'll go ahead and throw myself onto this forum with this post. Here's my 2 sets of wheels, the OZ's are currently tireless about to get stripped for green, red or orange paint (undecided)

OZ's are 16x7 +35 offset, stock 195/60/16 tires.







BBS's are 15x7 +43 offset, 225/50/15 tires

So I got home from work yesterday and my son was waiting on me. He said "mom, you gotta let me put your new rims on"
1/2 hour later he informs me that it looks SIK and he was taking my car to the mall. As soon as I can get my car back, I'll take pics and post them...LOL
He did leave me the keys to his '89 Civic hatchback ! Wanna see pics of that???
