Message	Does this look absolutely rediculous? I cant make up my mind if I can stand it. Front tires were rubbing and became ruined. They were 255/40's so I wanted to replace em with something smaller. I had to order from TireRack.com so I can return and exchange, but it will be another 50$round trip shipping, and 55$ to have em mounted and balanced. And if I went up to 245/40 I cant be sure they wont rub like the 255/40's did, possibly meaning I will have to return them again. I dont really have money to burn on exchanges, but I'm worried its going to annoy the piss out of me. Please what are your opinions? If it were your Z could you stand it? Also please keep your opinions to the tires >.> The exterior is a mess to begin with let alone sitting in drive for last 3 weeks while I work on it.
