The down-the-side shot is a bit hard to see, but show that the face of the tire is inside the fender (at the top anyway).

Thanks for the pictures.

Even in stock form I was under the impression that sidewall of the tire bubbles out past the rim - to protect the rim possibly ?- at least that's the way it is with the factory 20 " continentals on my factory 20" style 7s.

Now I'm curious, Im going to try to find a stick and see what happens when I do that same measurement.

Are your pics of the front or back tire ?

Looks really nice almost gives it a different stance visually. How much was the swap?

The dealer gave me $500 off the showroom price, so it was $4,089 out the door with exchange. (19" w/Continental tires).
Thanks, yes it is a good look, and finishes the color combo nicely!
Cool

It's the front tire, shot from along the driver's door forward. I'd be curious to hear where your stick flushes against the tire and fender, on the stock rim. I'm only sorry I didn't get a stick shot or measurement when I had the OEM 19" s on it.
