Can't tell. :wink: let's just say they weren't cheap and they weren't easy to track down.

Looks good Clarence! Did you get new tires on them already? I can see the red dot. :D What did you end up with? You should think about spacers to fill out that fender in the rear.

You and your Hankooks! Man you love that brand! :D I'm guessing since they don't come in 225/35-19, you got the 235/35-19? I wonder how they compare to the S1 EVO's? My tires are due up for replacement soon.

this may be a dumb question, but i noticed a lot of u guys running 35 series rubber and i just noticed in the FS thread someone selling some 20inch wheels with 35 rubber too but that looks a lot thicker than clarences and jim's coinnoiseurs.... are my eyes playing tricks on me or is it cos the small spoked rims have something to do with fooling the eye into thinking the rubber is thinner?

Sort of. The majority of people running the 35 series tires have 19's. When you run 20's, most people get 30 series in order to keep the overall diameter the same. The 225/35-20 tires (I'm assuming you meant SillySora's 20" American Strong wheels?) are an inch larger in diameter (about half an inch more tire wall), so the tires will appear a bit fatter. Whereas if you look at Subie_Boy's 20" wheels for sale, they're running 225/30-20.

And yes, the other part of the equation is that the 20" wheels have spokes that curve inward at the ends, making it appear smaller. Whereas the Advans extend all the way out to the edge, giving it a larger appearance.

Sorry to go off topic in your thread Clarence.
