Looks like I may not have any choice. With 18x9 and 18x10, it looks like I'm going to be stuck with the Blizzak LM001 in 255/40-18 square. Not a bad tire, but I might have rather gone with the Michelin PA4. Still researching the Pirellis.
Anyone have any recommendations for tire installers who won't screw up nice rims near Boston & points west / north? I used Direct Tire on Galen St. in Watertown for the wife's GL450 earlier this year - they seemed to be fine, but those are pretty high profile / puffy M+S tires on relatively narrow rims. |

EuroTech Motorsports - Natick - Farley
Thanks for the tip gents - I stopped by there today and met Farley. "Cozy", very clean operation. The shop reminds me a bit of my old Porsche mechanic's place in CT, from years ago. Farley makes a great first impression, and he seems to be a genuine enthusiast. He was doing a winter tire & rim swap for a 340, with the owner right there.
I picked up my rims in NYC last week, and I'm almost done cleaning them up. I ordered my Blizzak LM001s this afternoon and am having them shipped to EuroTech. So, I should be ready for winter by the end of the week, if everything goes as planned. Thanks again for all of your help, advice and PMs. |

Truthfully, I got the 9.5's thinking that I could stick a slightly wider tire on them for track season, but it turns out I'm not nearly the track rat that I aspired to be. Just FYI...I think in the pics I posted I was still on stock suspension, but just for the sake of sharing info, NO problems with rubbing or any of that on lowered suspension. |

And no issues with sticking out or winter debris...and I commute on some REALLY nasty side roads. Can't remember what pics I posted originally, but here's a few side shots to better show the offset. Apologies if those are the exact same pics I already posted... |
