and the drama along the way! My old wheels were 17' Stillen Enkei GTV with Brand new (Less than 500 miles on the tires) Michelin Pilot Sport Tires All Season: Front 245/45/17 (17"x8"). Rear 245/40/17 (17"x9"). I first tried to get the Stillen Enkei 17" wheels refinished. Bottom line I was not pleased with the end result and decided to purchase new wheels. The problem: I have large 4 piston Stillen AP Racing brake calipers with 13" drilled rotors on the front. I could not find a 17" wheel that would fit over the large brake calipers. Stillen has since discontinued selling wheels. I ended up purchasing 18" Enkei Tenjin wheels and four new Michelin Pilot Sport Tires. My options were limited and I went the new tire route. Now I have four, almost new, spare 17" Michelin Pilot tires on my old Stillen Enkei GTV rims already balanced sitting in my garage. [/URL]
