Well, after Sandy kicked the Eastern side of the US, there are weather reports saying the Northeast is going to have snow in a few days... just what we need while power is getting restored. Anyways, so I posted in another thread that I was going to put in X-Ice3 on the stock rims (215/55/17) and many people had questions whether they would fit. @pastuch & @ScionFR-S

Short Story: Yes

There were no issues in vertical travel. I have 3 speed bumps in my complex and I tested going 18 mph over one of them and no rubbing. They do rub when the wheel is turned fully locked, but even still its not as bad lowered cars. This was completed on STOCK suspension. There will be issues if you lowered your car. As usual, attached are some pics below.
