did you use a spacer in front or just order them with the required offset?

wont the wider tire tend to "follow" the grooves in the road more? other than that it should be fine.

Yeah some..but most of all it makes your car a heavy turd with that much wheel and tire up front..

Yea, I'm sure that extra inch of width in the front really adds sooooo much weight to the car. Haha seriously, how much could it even add? I'm 100% sure you would never tell the difference in driving it.

IDK about the offeset, I got these used.
