Yep. Someone up above mentioned the brakes might not clear, which confused me... 14's are 14's right? Not much variation there, I would think. Maybe the width would be whack... I'd need to put my 185/55/14's on em...

again, beware the heliums. They break/bend easy.

you can do better than that.

and if you really think there will be a difference between 10.8# rims and 11.5# rims, you're smoking crack.
