In the bottom picture where you can see the rear wheel up close, whats up with the tire looking like its not wide enough? It's like the sidewall goes inward. I've never liked that about those kinds of tires/wheels, does it serve a purpose or why are some like that?

mines like that because i got my set as a package deal 8 tires for $700. Those 4 tires for the rims and 4 blizzaks for stockers. I know i dont like my tires either...too low profile for a stang IMO

I'm almost going to say I'd spend the $400 bucks and buy properly sized tires. That is almost too small of a tire for that rim!

If you drop the car then it might look all right. I know my front sidewalls are normal but you can see the "seal" to the tire much like yours, but your sidewalls are doing a cute little step in. Whoa. What size are they? 9" wheel with a 245 tire? Also props on the Blizzaks, I love mine.

Holy crap, I can't believe they even mounted those for you. That has to be horrible all around. Although I don't know of any 9.5" wheels off the top of my head.
