look much narrower than yours.

these tires are the Dunlop Sport SP9000 205/45ZR/ 17 88W non runflats
but i dont now what the 88W means
the rim's are a replica of the R90's they have 8mm more trax,
so if you take a 5mm or 8mm than youre should have the same look

88W - 88 refers to load rating, in this case 1,235lbs and W refers to speed rating - in this case 168 mph

thanks, Stan.
Yes, I think the R90's are 48mm offset so the 5mm should do.
those regular SP9000's fills up the fender real well.
Im thinking about running some Sumitomo HTR+'s (all seasons)
or some Avids. Anyway, a tire that is better suited for lower
temps in the Spring/Fall season than my GS-D3's on my Comps..

I have to agree. Stan's wheel/tire setup looks waaay better
than the factory R90's running the factory SP9000DSST's.
I must add wheel spacers and run wider tires to make it
look better.

Minigolf has them on his car:
Minigolf's Mini2 Wheel Gallery
I know an ebay shop in Australia that stocks them, surely there'd be one in the US:

If my 18' dilemma isn't solved, I'll probably get a set of these....the bigger shinier lip looks nicer than the stock R90's....apparently they are lighter too..
I've been good by the way...just been busy...my gf graduated from uni the other night and (partying and...) work's been getting in the way of my NAM'ing and motoring...

stan- wow, those are USD600 each? dang, I wouldn't consider
those R90 replicas, we shall referr them to as the "R90-Performance"
wheels from now on.
joker- im probably going to use the H&R Trax 5mm and get longer
bolts from someone else... maybe Pilo? They have a 3.5mm longer
bolt which should work just fine. The tires Im going to put on aren't
high performance so i won't be worried about bolts breaking, etc.
(I might not even need longer bolts if I can get enough revolutions).
Im probably going to do 215/40 or 215/45, not sure yet. More a/s
selection for 215/45/17.

i see. well, at that price it's almost stupid not to get those unless you
specifically wanted the R90's in the 2pcs. that's a great deal.
berky is now having second thoughts.
