    Dialed in (resized barrels and wheel spacers) the RS's and went 16X8.5 front and 16X10 rear along with 12mm spacers front and rear. Just waiting on proper fitting tires (non stretched)

      This car was better on stock wheels. Never imagined, you would go this route with this car:-( Poor 318is

            This is a 100 times better. Hands down

                I don't understand why you would spend money on tires that don't even fit the rim... It would look amazing if you got the tires to fit.

                  But it wouldn't.. Those wheels poke past the fenders either way. They look hideous, even with tires that are not stretched.

                    As stated in my comment I'm waiting on the proper tires to arrive. These tires came with them when purchased. So for setup purposes (spacers) I kept them on. But I would never do this extreme of a stretch. Thanks for your input as well!

                      Ease up Manny, just trying some options out. I'm a big fan of the RS's but as I stated if it doesn't look right to me, then it will go back to a more conventional weave. Cut me a little slack I did hook you up with that blower motor, up in Boston ;-)

                        Tires didn't arrive in time for Wolfsgart but still had to show it.

                          Once you get the new tires and the stretch is gone I think this will be one of my favorites, I love this thing, well done! love the RS's looks very nice! well done....

                            Thank you! I got the tires just trying to find a place that takes extra care when mounting tires.

                              I'm not sure where you are located but I've had good luck with discount tire, if you talk to whoever helps you make it very clear to them that they need to be very careful with them or tell a manger to make sure they know to be careful...

                                I buy my tires from them online, but unfortunately none are in the Boston MA area.
