sidewall not really - width, yes probably - but the price point with these was great.
this fitment is more for show, which makes me kinda depressed, but i have homies who drive just as hard on 10x more aggressive fitments......(and adapters).
either way, i'm happy with what i have.
although, i'm sorta sad that i temporarily cannot swang my car like i used to on the twisties :(

It sucks how shitty the selection for 16's is. 205/45's are abundant and cheap. 215/45's are only available in motorsporty tires. 225/40's would be perfect but they don't really exist. 225/45's are, technically, the correct size for E30's but in a lot of circumstances are a bit too aggressive not to mention there aren't many options out there.

I'd like to know more about these binder clips. My mudflaps still have the original clips. They're not as secure as you'd think. I'd never realized until I pulled mine of to clean them.
