Our wheels are 18x7.5 FYI. But as long as they fit they "should" be okay. I'd find a tire diameter calculator and just make sure they aren't massively different in diameter. If they are, all your nannies are gonna light up like a Christmas tree

whoops. too late at night again. I just want good freaking tires. as long as the price doesnt stray to far from the price of 4 OE tires then i can pay off the difference.

cause my parent agreed to pay for the amount of normal 4 oe tires then i just pay the difference for better tires. sounds weird but ill take it. pretty much ill pay like a forth of tire amount most likely. i just want to see if i can cut the 60 foot time to a consistent 1.9 at least
