My car has all of the options but those wheels look lost in those wheelarches so I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on what wheelsize is a good compromise between comfort/looks. I dont want my car to look like a a "boyracers car" but with just enough 'weight' on the wheels to fill those wheelarches up.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>PS How do the Goodyear Eagle tires perform in snow? We dont get too much snow here but it would be nice to know!<br><br>:)

my advice is not to change the tires but to put a set of lowering springs on it's much cheaper and<br>will get rid of the space in the wheel well!

It would be a good idea to lower it if you want good comfortable ride and looks. The tires are pretty good in snow unless you lower it. When you lower it with the springs it throws the camber of on the rear end so when you drive in the snow it feels like the back end fish tails.

Under what circumstances would the rear fish-tail<br>in the snow? You have obviously had experience with this, and does it happen in the dry at all?<br><br>Thanks for your advice!
