Do you have any problems with the +20 offset. I really like those wheels and would like to put 225 or 235 tires on them. stock suspension. Do you think it would fit ?!?

Originally i ran a 235/45 on and demolished my fenders and did a lot of damage to the front quarters when hitting large bumps. I had my car lowered tho. I took the rear springs out when it rubbed and it still hit a bit. If you go 225/40 based off the stock 195/55 ull have a shorter tire by 9mm but its a little bit of stretch you need. When i had stock springs in the rear with 215 i didnt come close to rubbing. 215 is a huge stretch n you have to be aware when driving. Go 225/40 or even 225/35. The nice thing is the wheels fit right up no inner rubbing. Just remember they are 9.5" from lip to lip the bead sits on the 8.5" so there is just a little more poke than youd think. Im lowered bout 2" now n now rubbing. Awesome wheels and they are pretty tough too. Bmw made mini suspension prettty soft for all the blue hairs that like them so be prepared to possible get suspension

They don't make it easy, they seem to be doing everything to stop you doing that. You need to extract just the .jpg URL from that URL, like: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8018/7...3a59631da5.jpg

If you add _c, it becomes a nice medium sized image:
