    Has anyone besides MarcT gone to this size tire yet? And if so, are you still using a stock wheel or did you go aftermarket. I'm thinking of upgrading to this size tire all the way around for just a little more width and height (therefore a very.....very small increase in gas milage, probably not even an increase since the increased rolling resistance of a wider tire.) But anyways Cooper makes a Zeon XST and also Kumho makes a tire this size as well. Anyone???

    Do you have a pic of the rears? I don't know if its just me or what but I think the rears needed to be about an inch wider from the factory....

    It'll definitely hurt the performance in my opinion especially around turns and hard cornering....
