I'm not sure if the Nitto's provide more traction than the Michelin's, I'm going with the 315's because I'll be running the 275 Nitto's up front.

I love the way your combo looks from the rear, and it looks like the wheel/tire is almost perfectly flush with the rear quarter panel which is what I wanted to see

Car is stock height too. Would love to hear some opinions, yes even the bad ones.
They look really good. I'm not sure they would look as good all polished/chrome. If anything I would do the blcak center in more of a flat black to match your accents.

The offsets are a much bigger deal when you run really wide tires, since the tire is what sticks out more. I think yours look good with that tire.
If you lower it the tires will tuck in more.

The 305s could also possibly look wider on the car and stick out further than the 315 Nittos.

I've seen 315 Nitto Invos and 305 Pirellis P Zeros put on the same wheels mounted on the car, and the 305 Pirellis stuck out further past the fender than the 315 Invos (which didn't stick out past the fender).

From my undersanding that's because the 315 Invos are rounded, where the P - Zeros are more square shouldered.

I do really like those on the car. Am considering those myself.

It'll have to wait for me until the next set of tires though. Just replaced my pirelli's...

Yeah, your wheels look awesome. I like those a lot! Would love to see what they look like with a titanium finish.

Those look great! I also agree with the lowering. Lowering is my next mod. Then wheels hopefully soon after.

Those look awesome. I agree with everyone else. Get it lowered and black out the tail lights, side markers and gills. The more black accents you have, the better it will look and the more it will match the black on your rims.
