yeah and you could forget rotating your tires. you'd have to buy new tires everytime the back/front wear out. just a thought......

get 17x8 with 225's so you can lower the car without ripping the tires up, then keep a set of 10 holes or turbines around with some 265's in the rear so you can slap em on the back and go blazing around...
