Who ever sold you those wheels and tires should be shot. Maybe you too! Apperantly he was just after a sale to a "missinformed customer"! You have a FRONTWHEEL DRIVE car., you don't put larger tires on the BACK, the traction is on the FRONT. It must handle like shit and every time you bring it in for service (lots of alignments) they must laugh their asses off, I know I am.
Nice car but you do it and yourself a disservice. If you want "that look" buy a REARWHEEL DRIVE car and wheels and tires from a shop where they know what they're doing. You should have read up on the subject before spending all that money.
