the price is really good, i just dont' know about the overall height of the wheel/tire. I calculated it and it comes out to be about an inch shorter than the stock wheel/tire. and the difference in circumfrence is 2026mm vs. 1932... so if i am correct, my speedo will only be off by about 3mph.
IMO after driving on these you will be happy.....if the price is right and they fit, buy them. The cost of mine were $195 mounted and balanced and I sold the hub caps that came with them for $20.00 to reduce the cost even more. It took only minutes to swap after getting new lug nuts.
I just bought the Yokohama Ice Guards at discount tires. Size is 215/50-17. Put them on the stock rims. Now just hoping for snow so i can test them out.
I haven't heard or felt anything rubbing yet but i will double check tomorrow morning if there are any marks on the struts, but all good so far.
It's rough, because on the ACR there is a slight bump that hangs down from the rear perch. It was rubbing just behind the tire. I had to take off the wheel/tire to see it. It sucks that it was like that...of course...I didn't exactly pick up my ACR at the best time either...
I ordered this combo a few months ago and just installed them tonight. The rims do fit and do not hit the caliper (close though ~1.19 mm clearence). The tires feel so different, very jello like (though it's a tall wall winter tire so to be expected); .
I have the same ones and noticed the jello like driving as well. They do seem to do very well in the snow. I used the stock lug nuts and they seem to work fine.
i run 16" winter steelies from canadian tire and 215/55/r16 snowtrakker st/2's they are studded have a very aggressive large lug design and each lug is siped mwork very well
