They really don't look that bad but I do miss the Pirelli tires for their Stickiness and the looks of the 19's over the 17's.
For all of you needing winter wheels for your Performance Package V6 they fit with more than 1/2 inch from the Caliber to the inside of the wheel and between 1/8 and 3/16th to the inside of the spokes on the wheel.

I just bought a set exactly like this on Thursday and I'm waiting for them now. Did they send you the BF Goodrich or the Michelin? There were two different styles based on transmission.

I requested the BFG's and that is what was sent.
They come on a pallet and of course UPS is afraid to come up my street with a Semi so after 2 days I finally had them delivered to Work and carried them home in the car.
BTW I could get a 53 Foot trailer behind my old 255 inch Peterbuilt up my street and turn it around in a couple of spots without driving through someones front yard

Thanks for the heads up. I was expecting four boxes. I'm also not sure what brand they are sending me?

Do you think it matters?

Why is that "of course"?

Afraid they can't turn around, and I guess they don't know how to ask a route driver how the streets are.

I got these from Roush as well. I think they are the bomb on a Sterling Grey! Possibly the best looking 17" out there, especially for stock! For the price of just the tires, you also get the wheels, TPMS, mounted and balanced and ready to rock

The Auto came with the 215/65 17's, I got the 225/60 17 for the fact they are a bit wider, cant wait till spring to get the 255/40 19's back on though, don't think I can pull the 1.19 G's with these on it like I did with the stock Pirellis

The automatics came with the Michelin and standard came with the BFGs. They are equal in quality. However, the BFGs perform better while the Michelin are better in rain and snow. IMO

Roush told me transmission makes no difference... Meanwhile auto stangs are now equipped with 215/65-17 and manual 225/60-17. Lol

I bought them for the cold, not so much for the snow, I don't work when it snows, and I might see a little ice the days after we do get snow, studded snows helps with that, but I am not an emergency vehicle so they are illegal

Well... they are going to take some getting used to because of their size and looks. They are narrow! Overall, im pleased with Roush overstock. The tires got here in two days!

P.s. I got the Michelins.
