    Have you had any problems with these tires rubbing as I am about to buy new wheels and tires for mine. The shops around me are afraid to install anything over 185/55 R15 as they think the tires will rub... 15x6.5 is the wheel size I was after. 38 Offset you say?

    Do you think 185/55 would rub? I don't really want to spin out or tare a fender off doing 80 hitting a pot hole :P

    Yes it rides much better for sure! I can take corners without slowing down and smooth as butter at 100mph test run on the highway.

    Nice upgrade it made the Mirage looks more masculine. How about the mileage, was it affected?
