If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Tyres are good so far. Much better than the Kumho KU31 that was on it previously. They are a hell of alot louder though.

16x8.25 +15 195/45 tyres.

The Tyres aren't my cup of tea. Planning to get some 205/45 or 50 series rs3's or similar

I'm surprised the tyre shop fitted 195s to the 16x8.5 rims.
TireRack.com in the US don't even like selling 205s for 15x8 rims yet most tyre brands in that size fit perfectly.
Also, you'll need to install flares or risk getting defected because it's a very obvious defect.
Don't worry about dying, worry about not living!

Yeah i swapped a set of wheels for these with the Tyres already fitted. They are 8.25 wide.
I can't get my head around Tyres with this much stretch.

My first post! :beer: Here are some Enkei wheels you might not see very often. Wheels in the first three photos are PF01s (15x8 +35) and are my street/autocross set. Wheels in the last photo are JS+Ms (15x6½ +43) and are my drag racing set.
