The Chevrillac Catebalt Rides

I'll post up pics later. Put my 16" Catera rims on over the weekend. I had to grind down the calipers a little bit but that wasn't difficult. My only issues is with the size of the tires, 215/60/16. When I turn the wheel X amount to the right and brake hard enough that the nose dives slightly, the tire rubs the plastic in the wheel well and makes an awful noise. I just have to be careful when braking and making right hand turns. Anyone else have this size tire and have any issues? They are bridgestone blizzaks.

IMHO, they don't look bad at all, especially for a winter set up. Much better than plain black steelies.
