There is no way you're getting 25000 miles out of high-performance tires, my rears were gone at 16k and my fronts at 20

I have over 30k on my Diamaris, 275/40/20 & 315/35/20, they are not bald and are within safety standards, but I will replace them when I put the 87's back on in the spring...

If I go with the 21"s style 215's, will I be able to fit a 325 tire in the rear?

the 21" wheel is front 10.5, rear 11.5"

Go with 87's (or 132's if they come in 20"). Good chunky looking spokes and easy to clean :thumbup:
21" tyres are gonna cost big time when you have to first purchase and replace.

Thanks for all your help guys, I ended up ordering OEM Replica 215's 9.5x20 and 10.5x20.

Will paint them black or gun metal grey when they come and mount stock size tires. STILL WANNA ROCK 21's or 22's!

but i'll see how i feel with these when they're on and go from there.

I can use the 215's in the winter and buy 21's 0r 22's for summer if I feel I still want more bling.

If thats the case I'll be selling my 19" OEM sports model 5 spoke wheels with new Pirelli snows on or keep them all. Im kinda a nut like that:thumbup:
