Ok, well, let the speculations begin then.
What size tire do you think that is? I'm thinking it looks short, like a 215/40/17
Do you think the car is lowered? Doesn't look it to me.
And here's why I need your help. I am seriously considering getting these, but I'm afraid that with my M7 springs and these being +45 offset, they will rub if I go with a 215/45/17. I'm not against using spacers up to 5mm.
Also, I'm looking at a wide tire.... Falken Azenis 615... muhhhahahaha
Whatcha u guys think?

Also, how do you like your ride? Any comments about durability / longevity of those Flik FTD 's?

being lightweight is nice compaired to stock s-lites.. I've only had them for a couple months, but knock on wood, I'm enjoying them, I get alot of comments on them too..
I'd buy them again

just got mine, looks awesome!!
i just put on flik ftds today. love the look. i got a lot of positive comments at the shop when i was mounting them. when the wife gets back with the digital camera this weekend i will post some nice pictures, but for now here are some phone pictures from inside the garage. btw, i'm running 225/45/16 bfg kdw2 with no spacers on m7 springs. no rubbing! even with all 4 of my old wheels and tires in the back. one of the previous posts lists the offset of these wheels at 45 but they are actually 42, at least in the 16X7 size i got.
