Thanks

I've been "talking" with JB and he originally suggested the 9.5 and then said 8.5 for winter with the 10 change in ET. I was wondering how much they stick out since the stocks are ET 47 as far as I can tell. I think I'm sticking with 18s to maintain a tad mor Reiner for Ll the extra potholes and other crap on the road.

I'm assuming you've got no rubbing issues.

Cool. Looks good. Thanks for the pic! Looks fine at that depth.

So I'm thinking I can go 9.5 at 45 or 8.5 at 35.

Heck, with those tires on your S4 you may qualify for the World Rally Championship.

BTW, I like the rims. Good choice.

Thanks. I like the coarse appearance for a winter set. I have to say that I like the wheels on sakimano's avant better. I'm glad he pointed them out to me, because I'm considering selling my peelers and getting the VMRs for my regular wheels.

They're LM60s.

Heading onto a curvy on ramp this morning I forgot the fact that I just put on brand new snow tires. I hit the gas turning into the entrance and slid the car unexpectedly. Oh yeah, I don't have my summer rubber on any more. Ooops.
