sorry man, "spring" as in seasonal. I was referring to the HRE wheels that I put on for the upcoming weather. I guess I should have had a better title.

The suspension is stock.

The wheels were purchased from Eppie's on the East Coast.

Looks nice!

Any problems with rubbing in the rear since you went with 275's? Also did you modify the fenders?

Thanks

that's so pimp... only issue is, it's too close to the stock looking ones.

No modified feders and no rubbing at all, but buy the Yoks if you decide to go with the 275s. The difference in width only went up by 0.2in total with respect to the Pirelli 265s I origanally had on the 18 in Lorinser wheels.

If you go to Tire Rack, you can compare the dimensions and it'll help you to see what I mean.

[QUOTE].......it's too close to the stock looking ones.

Thanks, I chose them b/c the were a little sportier than the SL55's wheels, but kept the look going.

Thanks,

Joe
