Nimble,

The wheels and tires were delivered as promised and I trial fit and road tested them this weekend. They fit perfectly in front, no interference anywhere through full lock to lock swing. The rear required a very thin spacer (7/32", the thinnest I could find) to provide better clearance at the upper trailing arm bolt head. Funny though, this was on the driver side only! I guess the suspension or chassis is not perfectly symmetrical as the passenger side has more than enough clearance....depending on your car, you may not require any shims at all! Note: without the shim, nominal clearance was approx. 1/4", plenty of clearance with the shim installed. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this deal. The combo looks great on the car and gives it a completely different look. I'll try to post some pix later in the week.

BTW, I think this combo will definitely outperform the greasy T/A Radials come track time, I'll find out in Feb when we go back to Gainesville....
