Thanks for the props.

It's dropped with Buddy Club coilovers. Nope no rubbing issues and no fender rolling. Fitment is perfect. I didn't want to go with 245's because I didn't want to deal with rubbing issues and because I wanted to keep the diameter as close to stock as possible.

JuancaROD - yup I got the other set. Thanks for posting the weight (21.5 lbs) of these. I didn't have a scale to weigh them. Post pics when you get them installed.

Yeah I'm really happy with the way they match with GG.

I don't know for sure if 245's will rub but it looks like they would on the rear if I got the same tires in 245. You may not have problems with the Swift springs though. I have a little less than .25" gap in the rear and about .5" gap in the front.

The tires feel good. Very quiet and smooth. I can feel them sliding a little on hard cornering compared to the Advans but that was expected given the high treadwear. Because of the lower profile tires the car handles much better. I can take corners faster. I'm really surprised going from 17" to 18" would make that much of a difference.
