They are 17x7.5" and ET45, so I guess it's just the Sport Contact 2's being 
235mm and having a large curb guard on them. I would sell the tries, but I 
decided to just sell the whole package for a few reasons. One being that I 
can't afford to buy new tires evn with selling the old ones, two being I 
didn't think the look was right for my car, and three being that I have 
another set of the wheels without tires on them which would save me the work 
of dismounting the tires ;-).

My second set are a bit scratched up, but I have the ability to repair them 
if and when I want to buy some 225mm tires and try them on my car again.

But what about some 91' 200 20v TQ BBS's? Those have the right look for the 
car, plus the width that I'd like (and I'm starting to need!). Thats assuing 
they would clear without the 20v flares. Anybody BTDT?
