I could be wrong on the width... I do not remember the exact number, but it is either 60 or 50. I will have to look tomorrow.

235/60 would be VERY tall if they even made them, my guess is that tehy're probably 235/45 or 235/50's.

yeah, that tire definitley doesnt look like a 60 series tire. that is probably a 45 or 50 series tire, like my post-whoring friend up there says.

in my opinion id never waste money on rims that were the same size as my stock. and you can say lightweight all day but were not tuners....were midsized sedans. so unless you're looking to go full out race and youve got forced induction and are looking for that extra edge its not worth it.

Big sticker on the window is my sponsorship sticker. I got 17's because I like the smaller wheel look. Plus my car came stock with 16's.

hey man nice rims, fix that gap and you'll be good to go. I think the 17's are a good choice esp since the ride won't be compensated for the size on the rims. I personally am about to throw on 17" 350z rims on my 01 Max. I was going to go to the 18" on a 05 Max but I don't think the ride will be good esp since I live in NYC....

But overall not bad....

I used a freakin camera phone. I didn't have a digital camera handy, I don't own one. And I figured, "what the hell," and I took the pics. I will post some better pics when I can though.
