AHHHH so pissed. my dad takes my car to walmart (i go to school) to get my new tires installed they are falken zeix ze512 size 195/60/15 i know peeps running 205's and they tell him that it won't fit and it is too wide and it will rub and they measured it. wtf!!!? i am 100 percent positive it will fit no prob. i am only lowered 1.5 in by tein s tech. he said "he measured it" and it will be hitting the front strut.
i need to know where you guys get your tires installed.

well walmart was coming out to be 44 dollars while discount tire was 100 dollars and sears was 71 dollars. i don't think we have an STS. what does it stand for?

not sure what STS stands for? it's a tire place in my area...there's a few of them. sorry about the walmart comment...i just don't think i could ever take my car to a walmart. i would pay more and go to sears.

I have 205/60/15s w/ Sportlines... and heavy *** subs that make my rears tuck.. just barely tho.. but they tuck a tad and i have no probs, but I also dont have a camber kit so if it were 100% straight, it might rub a bit im not sure..

ok i just got em installed today from a local tire shop. it came to 90 dollars total. oh well, i guess thats what happens when i don't live in a big city... not much options. but it looks good and they didn't scratch my rims

hah me either. i just figured mounting and balancing. what difference would there be. the guys at walmart look like they have more experience than the boys(my friends ) that work at the discount tire here. and it would be less than half the price. but i took it to sears and they wouldn't do it either. They told me they could put the tires on the wheels if i brought them in but they couldn't put it on the car. It is their policy. So basically retail stores have a policy against it
