I would like to but the wheel is only 7 inches wide, so the widest tire i would put on it would be 215's.

I am still debating, I want to get them but I need to save a little more money first. Also I am looking at more performance based mods right now…so they are put on hold for now. However, if I find some used ones I would probably jump on the offer.

If you're buying aftermarket wheels, go to a 7.5" width at least and 225 or 235 tires for better grip. I have 235's on 8" wide wheels and the grip is SO much better than stock.
