If you go with 18's as I did, you'll also need the run-flats (or AAA for a flat-bed) since there's not enough room for an 18" spare, opps!

^ Chevy Cavalier, forget the year, donut spare behind the seat is an option.

And yes, I can't wait for my rf's to wear out. Hard and loud with so so grip. Bridgestones.
