So I know the Tire Rack max wheel width is 7.5, but I will loose my *** if I return them and my daughter could care less how retarded they look. With that said, how retarded will they look and is it a safety issue. Tire section width is 8.8 and tread width is 6.9. The section width is wider than many and i have read that is what matters (wheel width should not exceed 90% of section width). This is equivalent to putting a std v6 tire on a Z28 wheel. Comments appreciated.

is that $100 worth being unsatisfied with the look of the wheel? remember, you have to deal with it for the life of the tires. i would personally take the loss and get the tires that i want.
