Never a problem. Just make sure the offset is between +40 and +42.

Just don't fix yer camber. I think after lowering, if you put the camber BACK to factory specs, you *might* have problems.

215/50/16's... ok, i'm assuming that you're getting the comp t/a's? i would advise against that, i've heard they're pretty $hitty tires, even though they fit the overall diameter exactly and you'd have a 30mm width improvement from stock... i just bought some 16x7 white rated r's, and many people told me to go with a great 205/55/16 rather than the 215/50/16 comp t/a's on account of how crappy they were, even though they're wider and have a thinner sidewall

yeah, comp vr4's....damn, that is NOT what i wanted to hear! i need to go with a 16" rim up here in PA cause the ROADS suck, and im affriad of going w/ a 17 because ill have to go with a 45 series tire....i want to have a little extra sidewall to absorb some of the $hitty roadness..lol......

$hit!

anyone w/ these tires let me know what you think of them! (tirerack seems to have them ratted pretty well though..)

these tires

yea man i hear ya, i went with 16's for both better performance and cuz the roads around DC are simply too crappy, i would recommend going with a set of good 205/55's instead for your 16's, some kumho ecsta supra 712's will cost you like $150+ less for the set, and they'll be MUCH better in handling even though they're narrower with fatter sidewalls, not to mention the fact that theres prolly no chance in hell your wheels will be bent no matter what... though you will be slightly bigger than stock

jus out of curiosity, did you WANT an all season tire? cuz i think the t/a's are entirely all-seasons
