Is today opposite day??

Because I think you meant to say that this car has PROPERLY SIZED TIRES that LOOK AWESOME.

I mean, I know you're allowed to have an opinion, but 225/40/18 is NOT "extremely fat" in any way, shape, or form--especially on wheels like that, which cannot possibly be more than 8" wide. And R888's are some of the sexiest tires ever made, with a chunky tread pattern and aggressive square shoulders.

I just don't like the look of a this tire because of this portion. It may just be the tire, but it makes it look like the rim has 2 lips. Perhaps fat was the incorrect term, as I didn't mean fat in terms of width. But it looks like the wheel needs to go on a diet.


Compared to a nice straight sidewall.

I thought that extra lip was part of the rim! That's why I didn't like them. That is a strange lip on the tire.

This is not the release series FR-S. It's just an FR-S equipped with TRD parts.
