Default Bridgestone Rears...

As a new S2 owner (MY00), I've recently changed my rears - and went with the Bridgestone Potenzas reccomended by Honda (and in the FAQ).

When fitted, the alloys protrude slightly (about 5mm) from the tyre wall. Its almost as though the tyre is too narrow for the wheel.

I know this can't be the case, and wondered if there's anyone here has any similar experiences?

Cheers.

So long as your running the correct SO2's the alloy does sit proud as the Bridgestones don't have a alloy lip protector on them, unlike Toyo t1-R's for instance.
