I don't want to sound like a broken record, but 1)Those wheels look awesome on your car, and 2) Maybe you could go a little bigger on the tires.
Obviously, the deal is done, and you can't just return the tires, but maybe when it comes time to get new ones, you can upgrade. I agree with the curb rash comment. Not saying it looks bad...but there's a chance that you might ruin the rims without the protection of the tire. Good luck though. Nice lookin ride.
