    255/45ZR-17 Kumho Ecsta MX. I have RS6 rep wheels.

    I realized after I ordered I was thinking I had smaller rims for some reason. Not sure. Perhaps on purpose some how. Anyway...

    They were rubbing a little in the front fender. I looked at it and it was rubbing both side from about the 9:00 to 11:00 and 1:00-3:00 possition of the wheel well. Hope that makes sense. I used a heat gun,1 1/2in PVC pipe and car jack to roll the fenders out some. Came out pretty good. I have to take the wheels off this weekend to cut and reattach plastic to the wheel well. Since the fender is out more the plastic still wants to hang down where it was and touches a little on bumps.

    I have not heard the back tires rub but I have not had more than 2 people in my car yet.

    I have a few bad cam phone pix b/c it keeps raining here and had no chance.

    I want to know the Pros and cons of the tire size I have? I would rather know so I know how the tires handle. I like the look actually.

    I like to take the car to the track 1/4mile.

    I did notice my car getting a bit more dirty on the fender and quarter panel b.c the tires are farther out. I'll get better rear shots.

    took this one b4 I cleaned.
