    i'm surprised you didn't get rubbing in the rear of your Gen II. (mine did with 225's... they do ride really nice though) your offset must make the difference....

    oh...

    i figured you probably have plenty of room on your Gen III as there is a lot more wheel room. (or so it seems by everyone pics... it's been a while since i saw the car in person)

    not much data on this yet as I have only 100+ miles on these wheel/tire combo but I'm expecting 2-4 mpg hit on these tires - michelin pilot sport a/s plus 225/45/17 (on my gen 2 when I traded it in it has about 50k miles and the lifetime mpg was 47.2 using goodyear ls2000 215/45/17 on these same wheels)

    I absolutely LOVE this setup, bino! I'm bumping this thread up to the top, so others can marvel at your car's beauty (not for any other selfish reasons)! :D
