I've seen them installed on 9.5" rims and they don't look bad at all. :yesnod: I would do it if you are gonna be autocrossing or something like that though.

I have them on my stock rims and they are fine. Makes me wonder why the ZR's are a few inches wider in the rear. I have heard that different brands have different widths though - so check with tire rack in the specs of each brand. I love the way they look on the car. Don't think they give me anything at the strip though. If you live close to me you can see them for yourself. Let me know. :cheers:
