i have 205/50 tires on my car, with the +37 offset gives a slightly wider stance and also brings the tires nicely out flush to the fenders, i dont like when the tires sit inside the fender wells

handling is nice def have more grip and the car moves alot better, since i got rid of the runflats and my oem 16's i dropped around 9lbs per wheel give or take, breaking is def better, only thing i would maybe change is the tire the sidewalls are a little soft and you can feel it but overall i love the setup
