Thanks for the input jablackburn.

IIRC you should be able to get the car started by unplugging these sensors right? I know the car won't work great without a MAF but it should default to some safe value and start right? ditto for ETC?

I do exactly as you suggest for my snow tires - I have them on my old 760 rims alloys and despite their crappy finish they actually looks pretty sweet. Every year when I put them on I think to myself both "man I forgot how good those old wheels look" and "I /do/ miss my old car". Not enough to go back though!

I understand the offset can be a bit of extra strain on the wheel bearings, but I guess I'm gambling a bit. I'll get some proper FWD-era steels sometime but not this year.
