[QUOTE="Dinosgt, post: 15532564, member: 169099"] Yes - 305/30. I have about 50 mm gap from the fender to the tire before it contacts (vertically of course). Im thinking with the bumpstop only about 18 - 20 mm to the frame, its probably never going to hit the outer fender. I just don't care for the look of the tire not tucked. Thanks - I noted earlier what concerns me is that I only have 6 mm from the RIM to the FRAME. If it were the tire to frame, I would be more comfortable. these wheels have a large 1/2 round lip on them, which I am guessing is a bit 3mm deep. So I am probably going to let it go for now, and keep trimming them down in my back pocket if a new set of tires doesn't work. Good to know- What brand tires were the 325s you ran and what was the offset? I'm thinking you are correct that the Michelins run real wide. I have seen many cars with other brands that seem to fit I agree - its not really the wheel makers fault. I was more annoyed with the guy that sold me the "guaranteed to fit" package after I told him all the specs and requirements. Again - thank you very much for helping me out. [/QUOTE]
