Wheel Question...
I've been looking at these wheels on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-17...9191QQtcZphoto
The front wheel width is 9.5" instead of the stock 8.5" currently on my 2001 coupe. I am running the stock tire size on the front (245), so will there be any problems mounting this tire on a wheel that is 1" wider?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Goodyear lists a wheel width range of 7-9.5" for the stock front EMT, so yes, they will fit.
But I think they will look a little stretched on the wider wheel. If upgrading tires in the future, a 265/40/17 or 275/40/17 would be the ideal sizes to use on that size front wheel.
