I have the same wheels on my car but Goodyear Eagle GT tires in 205/50/16"
They are a little to large for my GD-3. I'm not into the low rider look so it was easy and practical to raise the height of the car with coil overs I had on hand but hadn't at that time installed... You made a better tire choice than I did when you factor in weight.. The 45mm offset is much easier on the suspension than with wheels wheels with a lower offset ....Another benefit I've noticed is that having more of the wheel and tire inside the wheel well means my car doesn't get the sides covered with sand and dirt when I drive on unpaved roads... It is going to be a long time for me to wear out the tires but when I do I will probably put lighter, smaller tires on the wheels in their place.

'Tis true, but still hangin' here and there.

I just purchased a new Dell Aurora-R3 and I've been perusing the 'puter forums for info on overclocking and such.

I think this interwebs thing might catch on!

Here's my latest, a Tu-tone Submariner (Bluesy)...


Stay well.

I have to keep things as simple as I can.. I can't learn how to do the simplest things with a computer and if I do I'll forget what to do if I am away from the computer a day or two... I have only had a couple of half way decent watches I bought duty free on board a Navy transport ship.. Both were Zodiacs, one a Sea Wolf the other a Chronograph.. They both were stolen.... I wear a cheap Timex now if I wear one at all..

Sorry to hear that.

I'm in a similar situation in that I don't remember the little tricks my sons show me on the computer. I have to keep askin' them.

Truthfully, I look at my watch and then I look at my cellphone to see what time it is!

Mom has a picture of me when I was about 6 with a watch on my wrist.

Some things you never grow out of.

Washed it yesterday. Cleaned it with some meguiars deep crystal soap and gave it a good polish and wax with meguiars products also. Today I ordered some Nokya stage 2 artic white headlight bulbs. Only had this car for 2 weeks and I absolutely love it.

Finally did the vertical wiper mod. I don't know what took me so long to get off my butt and do it, took all of 10 minutes.. It added at least 13whp and quicker vtec engage.

Those GDs rims look nice on the TW. Are you on coils?

Anyway, I bought a set of Enkei RPF1 16x8 +38 with 225/45 Yokohama Advan A048. Need to get it re-balanced then will slap them on!
