True!

I've got a set of those S1 clover leaf XR 16" rims with 225/50/16 sitting in the shed actually. The tyre size was good actually, plenty of meat on the side to protect the rims.

Thinking of putting them back on the wagon, as the Mrs keeps whacking and scraping the left side after double night shifts. I'd be darn groggy too after such shifts, but it's murder on the rims and tyres! LOL!
