Those will rub on bumps...especially with springs.

[HitecRednec]

Yes Wolfman you are correct they will rub if you have altered your stock springs. If the OEM springs are intact they will be fine cause they are the identical height as the OEM tires at 185/60/R14 only 30MM wider which is roughly 1 inch which will not require any change in offset. Just make sure you put them on 17" rims LOL.

We all want springs though. The aveo sits entirely too tall. Luckily springs are cheap.

I went to my local Rim and Tire dealer AK Tires on Ulmerton Road today and was Quoted $1956 for 4 GTC01 Rims and 4 Falken 452 215/35ZR17 tires with reusing all my current TPM's on the new rims... After leaving saying in my brain $2K for tires and rims I was CRAZY. I called Enkei for more detais and they refered me to tire rack who quoted me $1633.00 for 4 GTC01 rims with new TPM's installed and 4 Yokohama 215/35/ZR17 S-Drive summer ultra performance tires mounted balanced and shipped with all required mounting hardware (rings/bolts/Lugs) ready to install including shipping.

Ummm. it's a no brainer.

Yeah, Tire Rack is a good company. That's where I bought my 22's.

35 profile tires up here wouldn't last... roads are too rough, probably would also destroy the rims. Would definately look tight though, with those rims.
