      I didn't ask about the tires, I asked what brand the wheels were, the wheeeeeeels!!

      lol

      Tire rack should have a guarantee. Just say you don't like them and send em back. Make sure to call first, they are pretty cool about this stuff. Tire Rack and Discount Tire are the same company.

        I thought Discount and America's Tire were the same, and tire rack was different/ competition

            Its all the same, I used to work for them. Discount, America's Tire, Tire Rack are all part of the same group. We used to buy and sell individual tires, wheels, or packages through them all the time.

                    I'm running Hankook 215's as well but on a 16" wheel. Car is lowered but not disgustingly low. No Rubbing whatsoever.

                      yah, the 215/45 16 are known to fit pretty well...

                      but my car isnt that low either, just looks really low due to large sidewalls...

                        this sort of selection, once you have something to compare, is far from difficult to understand or get right the second time around.

                        just remember the sidewall number is the % of the width of the tread and has nothing to do with the rim dia. size.

                          How will this alleviate the problem? It will accually cause the tires to rub even more.

                            What I never understand, is why people don't ask before they order.


                            Keep it slideways!!

                              yah, thats the thing...

                              the guy even called to double check with me, so i asked my brother sean if they were the right size, becuase i knew it was gunna be close, and he told me that they were good...

                              but come to realize, that he thought i said 215/40 not 215/45...

                              so it was just a miss-understanding...

                                Dude, i love the way the tires look! i can get them to work on my car.
                                But shipping would probably be to much huh?
