Appearance of 7.5" width rim or 225/55 profile tires
#1
I just changed my stock 15" rims/tires to Borbet Type E 16x7.5 with 225/55 Potenza R730 tires. I immediately noticed that the tires/rims now come all the way out to the edge of the mud flaps, flushed with outside edge of the wheel well in the rear. Looking from the front wheels they noticeably stick out alot more to the sides as the bumper nose is curving in. Kinda weird looking relative to the car's body as I'm used to the tucked in stock rims/tires. Any of you guys with this rims width notice it too, normal right? Yeah the offsets are 35mm which I think should be correct?

i don't know about you, but my wheels haven't even gotten to the edge of the mud flaps yet and there 225/50. Anyway, you should have to worry your just fine with your setup.
