I put these tires on my wheels just to see how the rims would look on my eclipse and so the car would roll as i had the other wheels/tires sold… rims look ok, but obviously the tires look rediculous… what tire size would go good with these wheels? I plan on ordering a set of coilovers soon, but even with coilovers I dont plan to slam the car at allll… just fill in the wheel gap. thanks ![http://i50.tinypic.com/2heehz7.jpg](http://i50.tinypic.com/2heehz7.jpg) ---
