I couldn't disagree more, IMO the SFC looks great on an SC.

i rather have a tire thats a lil wider then the wheel.cause it gives the rim good protection and it gives the tire a square look and not a curved in look you would get from a stretched out tire.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

As for putting wider than recommended tires on a thinner rim, you can very severely hurt your handling performance by doing so.

altstadt, thanks

mrshabo, you can get a 295 on there, but recommended size is 265 or 275 depending on how tall of a tire you get. Putting a 295 on there is kinda pointless, you are just paying for extra tire that is going to wear out quicker.
