we have 215/45 stock. when you put the 225 it isnt that much of a difference. My question is, how much of a difference is from the 225 to a 245? I have Konig Unknown 18 x 7.5 and i have been researching what tires to get and many tire stores said that 245 won't make that much of a difference as long as you dont put more than 1" drop. you guys have more experience with these cars and that is why i come to u

Unfortunately, it's unavoidable - if it looks good, it looks good and as original as we all want to be, most of us are not going to go with our #2 choice just because everyone has our #1 choice.
Even more unfortunate, I went to the wheel shop yesterday to pick up my hyper black rims. The guy opened up the box so I could inspect them and pulled out black rims!
When I told him that I ordered the "Black Chrome" finish (the wheel company's equivalent of hyper black), he told me that it meant the wheel face was black and the lip was the chrome part, hence "Black Chrome".
Long story short, we straightened the whole color thing out and they're going to place another order for the correct finish. This means another 1-2 week wait.

HaHa, ya thats funny cuz your wheels were my first choice, but when KillertC raised the price I started considering other wheels and kept shopping around. In my area atleast I can tell you I will be the only one with my wheels.
