Mmmm Well My answer to that it that it handles Okay. like on a scale on 1 To 10 i say is a 7.9. my reason for that is cause the sound i hear in while im driving. like it sounds like my hub bearings have messed up again, like a very very loud airplane.... but i mean other then that ride quality seems to be okay or better then the stock 14"steelies i had on before... maybe cause there Bridgestones.... haha and now i just need bigger brakes now  | |

Those tyres are ridiculously oversized by the way, they're the same size as I run on the Soarer and it has ~220rwkw They'd also put your speedo out by ~10%, and in the bad way too (ie your speedo would read under and you'd have to be very careful around speed cameras/cops etc as you'd be doing 110 when the speedo says 100) | |

| I did check at the tire shop when I got the 16s fitted if 215s would fit and I was told that they would not fit on stock fenders, which is why I'm going to get the fenders extended out about 3cm on each side front and back, I would also like to find out if 9" wide wheels can fit (9jx16), just for the hell of it.  And I'm going to bed now, its 3:23 am here. | |

| I'm running 17x9" with a +15 wheels on my GT, 235/40/17's on the front and 215/40/17's on the rear. Although trying to find a way to get 235/40s on the rear also. My front fenders are fiberglass extended, and the rears are bog extended, and my wheels hit everywhere in the guard. | |

They'd also put your speedo out by ~10%, and in the bad way too (ie your speedo would read under and you'd have to be very careful around speed cameras/cops etc as you'd be doing 110 when the speedo says 100) That only happens if the overall diameter is too small. In his case, he'd be reading 60 and actually be going 55.

A larger tyre travels further in one rotation than a smaller one, and the speedo is calibrated to the smaller diameter (it is actually counting revolutions). Thus with a tyre that has a 10% bigger circumference than standard, the car will travel 10% further per revolution and the speed will be 10% faster than what is displayed on the speedo In that link, the "reading @ 60mph" is referring to what the speedo will say when the car is physically travelling at 60mph - in this case the speedo will be reading 55 | |

| Oh duh! That makes sense. Bigger tires will make speedo read lower. My bad, Hiro!  | |
