Hello Brian,
I've noticed that you have mounted these wheels on an NC with a 245/45/16 tire. Would these combo require lip rolling and what was the weight of the combo as compared to the factory 17 wheels and tires? Any suggestion of a light 245/45/16? Thanks.

Brian do you think that 225/50/16 slick tyres (Kumhos' if that makes any difference) on 16X8 FD wheels will fit without requiring any fender rolling?
I am app. 1.2" lower than stock and have app. 2 degrees of negative camber.
I am now running a set of 20/61/16 Michelin slicks on these wheels and they fit fine.

Another data point: my 16x8 FD rims with Toyo T1R's mounted (225/50) weighed the same each as my OE 17" wheel/tire combo.
I did not have to roll the fenders, and my car is sitting on MS springs with the sport package bilstiens.
What are the pros/cons of 225/50 vs. 245/45 on this rim, all other things being equal.
