I can tell you more ater Monday, it get's the alignment done then. I also have a set of 15" wheels that I can put BF Goodrich on if I am not happy with these.

The WOW's have it, very very nice. I would also Like to know how the ride is with the Wide Ovals, I'm probably going to have a 2nd set of wheels using those tires. Also what size tire is it?
