yea i believe the tire size is 215/40/18, which is a good stretch but leaves way too much lip, which IMO looks odd. otherwise it looks great on a tc! almost bought a set (with tires) for $800 last month...

Dang this is annoying I was going to go aggressive but backed off. Wish more peeps posted there aggressive setups for people to see. Oh well I waited too long for these so I'm stuck with them.
