I've had the new replica rear wheels, rear spacers and all four tires mounted for about 2 weeks now, and put about 800 miles on them (took a trip to Eastern Oregon). So far the feedback I have is that the tires ride a bit smoother than the OEM RFTs and definitely soak up road imperfections better (assuming partly due to the taller sidewall).

The only "negative" I've found so far is that I *think* there is a scenario there the tires may rub in the wheel well... not certain yet but I have noticed twice that when backing up, with steering at full lock, and if I go over a bump, I have heard a short, slight noise that I can only describe as a "grunt" from the front area of the car. The windows were down both times and it sounded like it came from the outside. I'm not too concerned because like I said it has only happened in that rare scenario, but I thought it worth mentioning.

The look is just what I wanted: a little beefier tire to fill out the wheel well and a little more tread to get around on dirt roads and snow, but I've yet to test it out on snow or much beyond light loose dirt.

The aftermarket wheels don't exhibit any noticeable vibration at any speed. I did have the tire shop use their Hunter Road Force balancer so maybe that helped, dunno. My biggest question is how the finish will hold up compared to OEM... that's tbd.

At the end of the day I'm happy to be free of the staggered tires, and I think the look is great (see pics below). I'll check back after the winter sometime to report on the snow traction for Mt. Hood ski weather.

Thanks,
Nathan
