Georige-

What is the offset and style of your wheels? Mine are ET30 7 spoke from slk. Do you have pictures? The overall diameter is about .3 or .4 inches larger so the speedo will read a little lower than actual speed but thats ok (drive faster without knowing). If the 215 work I think I am goign ot have 4 put on instead of just the two I was originally going to get. What brand tires do you have? I have been doig lots of research at tirerack and have found out that most manufacturers says the widest rim for 215 is 7.5 but some like continental say 8.5. Does this mean that all 215 tures should fit an 8 inch rim if one or two fit? Also, do you have any problems with an exposed rim lip and curb rash with the narrower tires?
thanks
