Default Anyone Have These?

They don't seem like they would fit in the front judging by the offset versus the width, yet the seller states they will=\. Do you guys believe these will fit with no issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Kj

I would say first off that the same wheels are not going to fit all of those cars correctly. The center bore and offset is going to be an issue on the S2K. You would also not have a wider wheel on the rear so handling can be an issue.

Meh the tires don't bother me, and I actually don't mind the look of them. My S is a daily driver and nothing more. But it is nice to know that I was correct about them not fitting. Thank you for that Jim=).

P.S: Vik2000, your sigs are hilarious=).

Remember that your tires are the only thing that's keeping your car on the road. Even if you don't drive spirited, what happens in an panic stop or an emergency situation where you need to avoid something?

Take a look at a test that Car and Drive did that included some "Ling Longs" (another cheap tire brand). The results speak for themselves: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/compar...ong_l688_page_3

You know you got me curious so I went back and checked on the tires Vik pointed out as being shitty and I was suprised to find they were Nankangs. I know I have had at least two sets of Nankangs on previous cars I owned and I honestly can't complain about their life span or how they felt on the road.

I would rather drive a Prius than drive on Nankangs.
