Lol Mike come one. The rim width is only half the story, he's not going to wreak his S if he runs a 245 on a 8" wide rim. It would be wose if he ran a 215 on a 9" wide rim or something stupid like that.

All Im saying is the width of rim/tire is changing, and it can make the car handle differently. I dont wanna see a car wrecked thats all! He has a point about the ap1 rims though. I like to be a little safer than sorry, just knowing there will be a difference and to be ready for it.

yeah i definitely understand that the feel of the car is going to change and that is expected. But I baby the car so I wouldn't instantly get on it after the change haha. But as far as tire size on an 8" wide wheel, what the safest bet?
