205/60x15 on 15x6 wheels with 1" backspace is a PERFECT fit with either Skandix or J Parker's lowered progressive springs (sedan OR wagon, I have one of each). No fit problems at all and my Falkens are great in the rain too. Runs straight as a die on even poor paved surfaces. Nice beefy look too! "Yokes" are dandys! The Falkens were cheaper in my market with almost the same specs for tread wear, etc.

Just a bit less that 3/8" shorter than the stock 165s so there is minimal speedo error (if you disregard the (normally) wildly optimistic 122 speedo!!! LOL!! My speedo reads consistently 10 MPH fast, but clicks the miles within just a few percent!! 3 tenths high in ten measured miles.

I drive the hell out of mine, so if they were gonna rub, they darn sure would have!!

Are the wheels as nice as advertised?? Real gems I hear!

Pix Please!!!

Mike
